Micah downloads music from an online music store. He pays $1.00 for each song, but if he buys three songs he gets a fourth song for free. Does this relationship have a constant rate of change or a varying rate of change?

this relationship has a constant rate because the pattern will stay as buy three get the 4th one free

Step-by-step explanation:

A varying rate of change.

Step-by-step explanation:

He will have spend 1 dollar for one song, making that point (1,1), 2 dollars for two songs (2,2), 3 dollars for 3 songs (3,3), but when he buys a fourth song, which is free, he has still only spent 3 dollars, making the point (4, 3).

(That's with the amount of songs as the x value and money spent as the y-value)

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.

step-by-step explanation:

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
