Tommy mows lawns and cleans pools during the summer he earns $20 per line and nine dollars per pool he needs $1500 to buy a car from his friend tommy plans to mow 41 months this summer how many pools messy clean to earn at least $1500

Tommy has to clean at least 76 pools to make a total of $1500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Money Tommy needs to buy the car=$1500

Money earned for mowing 1 line=$20

Money earned for cleaning 1 pool=$9

Number of lines mowed=41

Money earned by mowing alone=41×20

                                                      =$820

Money to be earned by cleaning pools=1500-820

                                                                 =$680

So,number of pools to be cleaned=

                                                         =75.555

Hence ,Tommy has to clean at least 76 pools to make a total of $1500.

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
