study the diagram of circle K where JL and LM are tangent to circle K at points J and M respectively. Also JL=3x+10 and ML =7x-6

22

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 22. You solve the equation 3x+10=7x-6 like so

3x+10=7x-6

-3     = -3

    10= 4x-6

   +6         +6

     16=4x

      x=4

You then plug in the value of x to the equation for LM.

7x-6 becomes 7*4-6 which is 22.

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
