Which phrase could be represented by this expression? k/5 + 8 eight more than a fifth of a number eight more than five times a number one-fifth of the sum of a number and eight five times a number plus eight

  eight more than a fifth of a number

Step-by-step explanation:

k/5 is one-fifth of a number. When 8 is added to it, the result is ...

  eight more than a fifth of a number

There is no multiplication by 5, so any phrasing with "five times" is incorrect.

The one-fifth multiplier is applied only to k, not to any sum.

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
