You have exactly 10 minutes to get to class for your big test on lateral numbers! your friend gus (who’s weirdly in to this sort of thing) says that class is exactly 10,000 feet away. let’s say you travel to class at a rate of r feet/minute. you would like to get there a few minutes early. more specifically, let’s say you will arrive t minutes early. a) write an equation that relates r and t.

1/800 is the right answer

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
