You want to place a towel bar that is 24 1⁄4 centimeters long in the center of a door that is 70 1⁄3 centimeters wide. how far should you place the bar from each edge of the door? (write the answer as a mixed number.)

The bar should be placed from the each edge of the door.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the towel bar  

Width of the door =

Let the distance from the edge of the door to bar be x.

The bar should be placed from the each edge of the door.

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
