F(x) = -5x +8(7-x) find x such that f(x) =160

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -5x + 8(7 - x)when f(x) = 160

160 = -5x + 8(7 - x)

160 = -5x + 56 - 8x

160 - 56 = -5x - 8x

104 = - 13x

-104/13 = x

-8 = x <

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
