Answer :
Final answer:
Without a total count of numbers in the collection, we cannot determine the exact number of twelves. However, if the number of elevens is x, then the number of twelves is effectively x + 3.
Explanation:
To solve the problem, let's define the number of elevens as x, and the number of twelves as x + 3. We are given that there are three more twelves than elevens, hence the +3. Since we are not given a total number of numbers in the collection, we cannot determine the exact value of x or x + 3.
However, we are asked how many twelves there are, and based on our definition, there are x + 3 twelves in the collection. So, the answer to the question depends on the value of x, which is the number of elevens in the collection. If we were given additional information, such as a total number of numbers in the collection, we could solve for x and then find the exact number of twelves.
