Three times the sum of half Carlita's age and 3 is at least 12. What values represent Carlita's possible age?
Let Carlita's age be represented by x.
According to the statement, three times the sum of half Carlita's age and 3 is at least 12.
So, the equation can be written as:
3 * (0.5x + 3) ≥ 12
Simplifying this inequality:
1.5x + 9 ≥ 12
Subtracting 9 from both sides:
1.5x ≥ 3
Dividing both sides by 1.5:
x ≥ 2
Therefore, Carlita's possible age can be any value greater than or equal to 2.
