Triangles abd and ace are similar right triangles. which ratio best explains why the slope of ab is the same as the slope of ac a. bd/ba = ce/ca b. ac/ea = ab/da c. bd/da = ea/ce d. bd/da = ce/ea

slope is rise over run.

Which segments from each triangle represent rise and which represent run?

little triangle: rise is BD and run is DA

big triangle: rise is CE and run is EA

D

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
