Question

Question that needs answering. Please help me. I need answers now for my math exam. Thank you and Have a nice day.

Answer 1

Let x = Carlita's age

3[(1/2)x + 3] ≥ 12       Divide both sides by 3.

(1/2)x + 3 ≥ 4

(1/2)x ≥ 1

x ≥ 2

 

    l        l                >   0       2

Put a solid circle on the number line above 2.
