Three bags of chips costs m cents. At this rate, what is the cost, in cents, of one bag of chips?

m/3 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to divide the total cost of the chips (m) by the number of bags of chips (3).

Mathematically speaking:

Cost of one bag chip: m/3 cents

Since the total cost is represented by a variable, the individual cost is an expression.

If we replace the value of m by a number we will obtain the result as a number.

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
