Would you rather read 12 pages every night in a chapter book with 144 pages or read 50 pages 3 times a week in a chapter book with 132 pages? Choose an option you would rather have and provide a mathematical justification as to why you made that choice.

Read 12 pages every night in a chapter book with 144 pages.

Thus the first option is the best because you will use fewer number of days to complete the reading.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first option;

Read 12 pages every night in a chapter book with 144 pages, the number of days taken to complete the book will be;

144/12= 12 days

For the second option

50 pages = 3 times

132 pages = ? perform cross product

(132*3)/ 50 =7.92 ≈ 8 times

3 times = 1 week

8 times = ?

(8*1)/3 = 2.64 weeks

1 week =7 days

2.64 weeks=?

2.64*7 = 18.5 days

Thus the first option is the best because you will use fewer number of days to complete the reading.

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
