Atrain conductor counted 300 ticket receipts on the 2: 00 pm train. the price for a student ticket is $8.25, and the price
for a regular ticket is $12. the conductor collected a total of $2,925.
let u represent the number of regular tickets and y represent the number of student tickets. write the ordered pair, (x, y),
that represents the ticket sales.

x + y = $2,925 becuz x is Idk so it stays x and y is idk so y+x is obviously the 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
