2x + 3 > 13

Whats the answer plz help

In this case, you can simply treat the > sign like an = sign.  The only time you would need to worry about is when multiplying or dividing by negative numbers.

2x + 3 > 13

2x + 3 - 3 > 13 - 3

2x > 10

2x / 2 > 10 / 2

x > 5

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
