A new motel chain in the U. S. Is interested in the amount of time Americans spend in the shower. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that the average shower lasts 8.2 minutes. The distribution for these times appears to be normally distributed. If the standard deviation for these times is 7.9 minutes, what is the probability that a randomly monitored shower in the U. S. Lasts less than 15 minute

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
