Which answer is the explicit rule for the sequence 2,9,16,23,

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the terms of an arithmetic sequence

The n th term ( explicit rule ) for an arithmetic sequence is

= a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

d = 9 - 2 = 16 - 9 = 23 - 16 = 30 - 23 = 7 and a₁ = 2, hence

= 2 + 7(n - 1) = 2 + 7n - 7 = 7n - 5

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
