A doctoral student wants to determine the relationship between steps per minute and the time it takes to walk 100 feet in minutes. Thirty trials are completed and the correlation coefficient between steps per minute and time in minutes is determined to be -0.543. Therefore, fewer steps per minute were related to longer time spans How is the correlation affected if the units for time are changed from minutes to seconds?

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
