Question

Can any one help me with this?

Answer 1

2 * (x + 18) ≥ 17

Explanation:

2 times = 2 *

the sum of a number and 18 = (x + 18), where x is 'a number' because we don't know the value of 'a number'.

is at least 17 = ≥ 17, at least meaning at the minimum of 17 or higher.

When we piece this together, we get the outcome of;

2 * (x + 18) ≥ 17

Answer 2

2(y + 18) ≥ 17

Explanation:

2(y + 18) ≥ 17

2y + 36 ≥ 17

- 36 - 36

2y ≥ -19

/2 /2

y ≥ -19/2 or y ≥ -9.5

This means that y is great than or equal to -9.5

Hope this helps!
