Which of the expressions are equivalent to the one below? check all that apply. 5*(8 + 3) a. 5*8 + 5*3 b. 5*24 c. 55 d. 43

Follow PEMDAS.

First solve the numbers inside the parenthesis

5(8 + 3) = 5(11)

Next, multiply 11 and 5

5(11) = 55

C.55 is one of your answers

Another way of solving this is distributing 5 to all terms within the parenthesis

5(8 + 3)

5(8) = 40

5(3) = 15

40 + 15 = 55

A.5*8 + 5*3 is another answer

hope this helps

d

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
