Amit solved the equation 5/12 = -x/420 for x using the steps shown below. What is Amit's error? 5/12 = -x/420
5/12(420) = -x/420(420)
x = 175

A: Amit should have multiplied both sides by 5/12
B: Amit should have multiplied both sides by 12/5
C: The product of 5/12 and 420 is not equal to 175
D: The product of 5/12 and -420 should have been the value of x​

D: The product of 5/12 and -420 should have been the value of x​

Step-by-step explanation:

Took the test

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.

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
