What describes the graph of y = |x - 3| + 8? Group of answer choices hurry i need this asppp

A. a ‘V’ shaped graph with vertex at (3, 8), which opens up

B. a ‘V’ shaped graph with vertex at (8, -3), which opens down

C. a ‘V’ shaped graph with vertex at (8, 3), which opens down

D. a ‘V’ shaped graph with vertex at (-3, 8), which opens up

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
