18. Kaitlyn want to estimate the number of candies in a 2-pound (32-ounce) bag of
chocolate-covered peanuts. She examines several 2-ounce packages of the same
candy and counts 8 to 9 candies in each.
a. How many pieces of candy can Kaitlyn expect to get in a 2-pound bag?
b. Kaitlyn wants to fill a 64-ounce candy bowl. The 2-ounce bags are sold 8 for
$1.00, and the 32-ounce bag costs $2.79. Which is the better buy? Tell how much
less it would cost to fill her bowl this way compared to filling it with packages of
the other size.

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
