Is 0.15 – 0.75p equal to –3(0.15 – 0.2 + 0.25p)?

Yes, they are equal

lets see how,

solve the given equation,

–3(0.15 – 0.2 + 0.25p)

Step 1: Inside the bracket solve the similar variables i.e. (0.15 - 0.2)

So it will become,

= -3 ( -0.05 + 0.25p )

Step 2: Multiply each term in the bracket by -3

So it will be,

((-3*-0.05 ) + (-3 * 0.25p))

= 0.15 - 0.75p

Hence 0.15 – 0.75p  is equal to –3(0.15 – 0.2 + 0.25p )

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
