Which is the most efficient first step to solve for x in the equation 3.7x-18=-4.3x-34? add 3.7x to both sides of the equation add 4.3x to both sides of the equation subtract 18 from both sides of the equation subtract 34 form both sides of the equation

B. Add to both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation . We are asked to choose the most efficient first step to solve for x in the equation.

To solve an expression we need to separate variables and constants on different sides of equation.

To solve our given equation we need to add to both sides of the given equation. After adding we will get,

Therefore, option B is the correct choice.

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
