A scuba diver descends farther down into the ocean from an initial depth of 14.7 feet below sea level. The scuba diver descends at a constant rate for 412 minutes and reaches a depth no more than 65.1 feet below sea level. What is the maximum rate, r, that the scuba diver may descend?

r≤17 11/15

r≥17 11/15

r≤11.2

r≥11.2

answer: 298143

step-by-step explanation:

she drove 134 miles

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
