A certain medicine is given in an amount proportional to patient’s body weight. Suppose a patient weigh in 116 pounds requires 126 mg of medicine. What is the amount of medicine required by patient way and 174 pounds?

189 mg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the weight of the body( in pounds) and y be the amount of medicine( in mg).

Given: A certain medicine is given in an amount proportional to patient’s body weight.

i.e.

Let ,  

then,

Hence, he amount of medicine required by patient weighing 174 pounds = 189 mg.

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
