What is the value of x enter your answe in the box

i had this question on a quiz a while back i am homeschooled and i beleive the answer was 17

x = 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since QC is parallel to BR, by the Triangular Proportionality Theorem:

39/26 = x / 18

3/2 = x / 18

x = 3*18 / 2

x = 27 (answer).

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
