Benny gets a job at a law firm with a salary of 70,000$ per year. after the first year, his salary increases to 73,000$. over the next five years, he gets an increase of 3,000$ every year. part a: if you were to plot a graph of benny’s annual salary, what would the slope and the y-intercept represent? part b: what equation would represent benny’s annual salary over the years?

Part A-  The y-intercept would represent Benny's starting salary: b = 70,000.

The slope would represent Benny's annual raise: m = 3,000.

Part B- The y-intercept is b = 70,000.

The slope is m = 3,000.

step-by-step explanation:

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
