Brian needs a small lamp for his desk. which set orders lamp heights from tallest to shortest? a. {0.75 yd, ft, 2 ft, 16 in.} b. {16 in., ft, 0.75 yd, 2 ft} c. {0.75 yd, 2 ft, ft, 16 in.} d. {16 in., 2 ft, ft, 0.75 yd}

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
