Cassidy is selling popcorn for a fundraiser sale at the price shown. He purchases a total of 150 containers of popcorn to sell. After he sells 15 containers, he will make a total profit, after his upfront costs, of $5.50. Cassidy’s profit, after upfront costs, can be modeled by a linear function in the form y=mx+b.
Please Help I really don’t understand.

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
