Three times the sum of half Carlita's age and 3 is at least 12. What values represent Carlita's possible age?

Answer: c > = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: represent the question with an equation

Let the missing age be c

3 times 1/2c + 3 is greater than or equal to 12

3 (1/2c + 3) > = 12

Divide both sides by 3

1/2c + 3 > = 4

Combine like terms

1/2c > = 4 - 3

1/2c > = 1

Divide both sides by 1/2

c > = 1 : 1/2

c > = 1 x 2/1

c > = 2

therefore the value that can represent carlita's age starts from 2
