1) (2 + 3) (5 + 5)
2)2 + 3 x 5 + 5 =

I need so much hel pleas

Problem 1 has a greater answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve problem 1 using the order of operatiobs PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, multiplication/division, and addition/subtraction):

Multiplication/division depends from left to right of the expression, the same goes to addition/subtraction.

(2 + 3) (5 + 5)

= (5)(10)

= 50

SOLVE problem 2 using PEMDAS:

2 + 3 x 5 + 5

= 2 + 15 + 5

= 17 + 5

= 22

Answer 1 (50) compared to Answer 2 (22):

50 > 22

HOPE THIS HELPS!

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
