The average u. s. citizen throws away about 1,606 lb of trash each year. find this rate in pounds per month, to the nearest tenth

133.83 lb/month, or  133.8 lb/month to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we need to find the unit rate of throwing stuff away.

To do this, divide 1,606 lb by 12 months, since we want the answer in pounds per month:

1,606 lb

= 133.83 lb/month, or 133 5/6 lb/month

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
