Samantha’s college runs on a trimester schedule so she receives a bill 3 times a year for tuition. Each trimester costs $1,450, and Samantha must complete 2 years of college to receive her degree. The average cost for books each trimester is $350. Approximately what will be the total cost for Samantha to get her degree?

10800

Step-by-step explanation:

1 trimesters cost = 1450 + 350  $

2 year -> 6 trimester

1800$ x 6 = 10800 $

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
