Amanufacturing plant can produce 12 cell phones or 5 laptops per hour. let c represent the hours spent producing cell phones and p represent the hours spent producing laptops. what is the constraint equation if the plant can only produce electronics for 16 hours a day? 12c+5p=16 or c+p=16

12c+5p=16

do you need an 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

hey! so 1 (25) out of 4 (100) is 25 so your answer is 25%. it's like quarters!
