Clara had 16 attires initially and then lend half to her sisters.

Equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the number of attires Clara has initially.

From the question we get the equation:

x - (1/2)x + 4 = 12

(1/2)x + 4 = 12

(1/2)x = 8

x = 16

Clara had 16 attires initially and then lend half to her sisters.
