Nate's quiche is cut into 7 equal parts. only 3/7 is left. he wants to give 3 of his friends equal part. write 3/7 as the sum of unit fractions.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Nate's quiche is cut into 7 equal parts. only 3/7 is left. He wants to give 3 of his friends equal part.

Let us divide by 3 to find the part given to each of Nate's friends.

Since Nate gave each of his friend of quiche, so we can write as the sum of unit fractions will be:

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
