5. Identify the type and subtype of each of the fol- lowing problems.

a. Shawn has 15 marbles, which is 7 more mar-

bles than Kyle has. How many marbles does

Kyle have?

b. Tiffany has 12 blocks, 5 of which are cubes

and the rest cylinders. How many blocks are

cylinders?

c. Peter had some carrots. After he ate 3 of

them, he had 14 carrots left. How many car-

rots did Peter have before?

d. In a bag of 17 marbles, 9 marbles belong to

Kelly and the rest belong to Shauntay. How

many marbles belong to Shauntay?

a) Kylie has 8 marbles

b) 7 Cylinders

c) 17 carrots

d) 8 marbles belong to Shauntay

Step-by-step explanation:

5. Identify the type and subtype of each of the fol-

lowing problems.

a. Shawn has 15 marbles, which is 7 more marbles than Kyle has. How many marbles does Kyle have?

Shawn = 15 marbles

S = K + 7

15 = K + 7

K = 15 - 7

K = 8 marbles

Kylie has 8 marbles

b. Tiffany has 12 blocks, 5 of which are cubes and the rest cylinders. How many blocks are cylinders?

T = 12 blocks

Cubes = 5

Cylinders = the rest

12 blocks = Cubes + Cylinders

Cylinders = 12 - Cubes

Cylinders = 12 - 5

Cylinder = 7

c. Peter had some carrots. After he ate 3 of them, he had 14 carrots left. How many carrots did Peter have before?

Number of carrots Peter has before

= Number of carrots he ate + Number of carrots he has now

= 14 + 3

= 17 carrots

d. In a bag of 17 marbles, 9 marbles belong to Kelly and the rest belong to Shauntay. How many marbles belong to Shauntay?

Total number of Marbles = 17

Kelly = 9 marbles

Shauntay = ?

Total = Kelly + Shauntay

Shauntay = Total - Kelly's marbles

= ( 17 - 9) marbles

= 8 marbles

8 marbles belong to Shauntay

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
