Ants have 6 legs. elena and andre write equations showing the proportional relationship between the number of ants, a, to the number of ant legs i. elena writes a 6.1 and andre writes .a. do you agree with either of the equations? explain your reasoning

,

Where,

a = number of ants,

l = number of legs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of legs an ant has = 6,

The number of legs a ants have ( say l ) = a × 6

∵ by the equation,

We get,

I ∝ a

i.e. the required proportional relation is,

Note : a relation is called proportional if output value is directly proportional to input value.

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
