Sue has 18 sweets Tony has 18 sweets Sue gives tony x sweets Sue then eats 5 of her sweets Tony then eats half of his sweets Write expressions for the number of sweets sue and tony have Do you know how to answer this? Whatever i try is wrong.

sue = 18

tony = 18

sue = 18 - x

tony = 18 + x

sue = 18 - x - 5

tony = (18 + x) / 2

sue = 13 - x

tony = (18 + x) / 2

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
