molly is comparing two different food companies to provide food for her banquet. The total cost, y, includes a one-time delivery fee and an additional fee based on the number of people, x, who attend the banquet. What is the cost per person for Company A

x

Step-by-step explanation:

the variable that represents the cost per person is x

the question is not all there

Step-by-step explanation:

452,489 to the nearest thousand is 452,000

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
