b.
$1,110.61
c.
$9,255.05
d.
$925.51

Option D Jennifer will receive $925.51 monthly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jennifer is now retiring after 35 years of service as a high school English teacher.

Over the past 35 years Jennifer's average annual salary = $26,443

Jennifer expect to receive annually = 42% of her average annually

Now we calculate 42% of her annual salary

Therefore, 42% of $26,443 = × 26,443

= 0.42 × 26,443 = $11,106.06 annually

Now we divide this amount from 12 to get his  monthly receiving

= 11,106.06 ÷ 12 = $925.505 rounded to $925.51

Jennifer will receive $925.51 monthly basis from Social Security.

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
