When the 6 buses arrive, they find out that each bus only holds 40 people. The rest will have to go to the Publick Playhouse in cars.
Jorge says that, if each car holds 4 passengers, they will need 5 cars to take the
rest of the passengers, because there are 22 people who won't fit on the buses,
and 22-4=5 with a remainder of 2. Explain why Jorge is wrong, and show how many cars they will need.

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
