Avat contains 20 gallons of liquid when a drain pipe opens and the liquid begins to leave the vat at a rate of 5 gallons per hour. use the line tool to graph the amount of liquid remaining in the vat at any hour, x.

The answer is to (place your point on 20, then go down to 15 move over 1 and place your point.)

y=mx+b

step-by-step explanation:

m slope

b y-intercept

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
