A carpenter needs to cut a 5 foot, 8 inch piece of wood from an 8-foot board to make a repair to a door. How many inches of wood will he have left after he makes the cut and repairs the cut and repairs the door?

Step-by-step explanation:

1 foot = 12 inches

length of board in inches = 8 ft × (12 in)/ft = 96 in

length of cut in inches = 5 ft + 8 in = 5 ft × (12 in)/ft + 8 in = 60 in + 8 in =  68 in.

96 - 68 = 28 inches left

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
