Final answer:

The solution to the equation 'Twice the difference of a number and 6 is greater than or equal to 29' is 'x >= 20.5'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Twice the difference of a number and 6 is greater than or equal to 29.

To solve this equation, let's represent the unknown number as 'x'. The difference of a number and 6 is 'x - 6'. Twice the difference is '2(x - 6)'. We can write the equation as:

2(x - 6) >= 29

Now, we can solve for 'x'.

  1. Distribute the 2: 2x - 12 >= 29
  2. Add 12 to both sides: 2x >= 41
  3. Divide both sides by 2: x >= 20.5

Therefore, the solution to the equation is 'x >= 20.5'.
