While riding her bike to the ocean and back home 5 times, melissa timed herself at 53 min, 65 min, 56 min, sand 62 min. she had set her goal of averaging 60 minutes for her rides. how many minutes will she need to spend on her sixth ride to attain her goal

53 +65 +56 +62 = 236

60*5 = 300

300-236 = 64 minutes

step-by-step explanation:

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
