Solve for u

10 - 6u = -8u + 2

u= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to isolate the variable: u

10-6u= -8u+2

Add 8u to both sides

10-6u+8u=-8u+8u+2

10+2u=2

Subtract 10 from both sides

10-10+2u=2-10

2u=-8

Divide both sides by 2

2u/2= -8/2

u= -4

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
