Evan is organizing textbooks on his bookshelf. He has an English textbook, a biology textbook, a physics textbook, and a writing textbook. How many different ways can he line the textbooks up on his bookshelf?

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

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.

a ≈ 172.05

step-by-step explanation:

the pictures.

measurement of the swimming pool is given as = 7 yards 4.79 feet

first we will convert this to yards only.

1 foot = 0.33 yards

so, 4.79 feet = yards

so total yards are = yards

now we will convert this in meters.

1 yard = 0.914 meters

8.580 yards = meters

0.842 m = 0.842*100 = 84.2 cm

this becomes 7 meters and 84.2 cm

hence, the pool is 7 meters and 84.2 cm wide.
