A drug company created a new medicine. To measure the effectiveness of the new medicine, a doctor administers 600 mg of the drug orally to a patient. The doctor then takes blood samples every 30 minutes to measure the concentration of the medicine in the bloodstream. The table shows the data gathered. 1. Which variable would be the independent variable in this scenario? Which would be the dependent variable?
2. Suppose you were to graph the data on a calculator. Fill in the blanks with values that you would use to create the best graph of the data.

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
