Athrill ride at an amusement park holds a maximum of 12 people per ride. a. select an inequality that you can use to find the least number of rides needed for 15,000 people. let x represent the number of rides. then find the least number of rides needed for 15,000 people.

For 15,000 people, at least 1,250 rides are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality:

We have to multiply the maximum number of people per ride (12) by the number of rides (x).

That expression must be equal or higher than the number of people asked.(15000)

12 x ≥ 15000

Solving for x

x ≥ 15000/12

x ≥ 1,250

For 15,000 people, at least 1,250 rides are needed.

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
