Solve -1/2 + (3/4 times 4/9)

-1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/2 + (3/4 * 4/9)

Parentheses first

Rewriting

-1/2 +(3/9 *4/4)

-1/2 +(1/3)

Getting a common denominator of 6

-1/2 *3/3 + 1/3 *2/2

-3/6 +2/6

-1/6

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
