From 1983 through 1989, the per capita consumption of chicken in the U. S. increased at a rate that was approximately linear. In 1983, the per capita consumption was 36.6 pounds, and in 1989 it was 48 pounds. Write a linear model for per capita consumption of chicken in the U. S. Let t represent time in years, where t = 3 represents 1983. Let y represent chicken consumption in
pounds.

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
