Maria orders t shirts for he volleyball camp. Adult size t shirts cost 6.25 each and youth size t shirts cost 4.40 each Maria has 550 to purchase both adult size and youth size t shirts. If f she purchases 45 youth sized t shirts determine algebraically the maximum number of adult sized t shirts she can purchase

the maximum number of adult sized t shirts that she can purchase is 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult sized t shirts that she can purchase.

Adult size t shirts cost 6.25 each and youth size t shirts cost 4.40 each. If she purchases 45 youth sized t shirts, It means that the total cost of purchasing x adult sized t shirts and 45 youth sized t shirts would be expressed as

6.25x + 45 × 4.4

= 6.25x + 198

Maria has 550 to purchase both adult size and youth size t shirts. It means that

6.25x + 198 = 550

6.25x = 550 - 198

6.25x = 352

x = 352/6.25

x = 56.32

Therefore, the maximum number of adult sized t shirts that she can purchase is 56

-2 is the right

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
