Apaper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. the paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. the volume of each small box is 10 cubic feet and the volume of each large box is 22 cubic feet. a total of 21 boxes of paper were shipped with a combined volume of 342 cubic feet. determine the number of small boxes shipped and the number of large boxes shipped.

the correct answer is 5 6 and 7

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

~

1 + (6 / x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

divide using polynomial division.

the answer is 13 cm
