Answer:
x ≥ 18 is your answer
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
