Choose the equivalent expression. 0.6x -4.8 + 3x -1.2x + 8.4 A. 1.2(2x + 3)
B. -0.6x + 4.8
C. 1.2(4x + 3)
D. 3x + 3.6

2.4x+3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

0.6x−4.8+3x−1.2x+8.4

=0.6x+−4.8+3x+−1.2x+8.4

Combine Like Terms:

=0.6x+−4.8+3x+−1.2x+8.4

=(0.6x+3x+−1.2x)+(−4.8+8.4)

=2.4x+3.6

because 1.2 isnt half of 6 duh

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
