The total time T (in hours) needed to fly from New York to Los Angeles and back can be
modeled by the equation below, where d is the distance (in miles) each way, a is the average
speed (in miles per hour), and j is the average speed (in miles per hour) of the jet stream.
Simplify the equation. Then find the total time to the nearest minute it takes to fly 2468 miles
when a = 512 miles per hour and j = 103 miles per hour.

complicated process just think and do the math If I was helpful pls be thnked

Step-by-step explanation:

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
