Ms. sacksteader owns a grocery store. she buys 272 pounds of potatoes for $99. she makes 9 bags containing 10 pounds each and puts the rest in 5-pound bags. her family will eat any of the leftover potatoes ms. sacksteader wants to know how many 5- pound bags of potatoes she can sell what hidden question do you need to answer first

36 5# bags

Step-by-step explanation:

First subtract the pounds of potatoes she put in the 10 lb bags.

272-90=182

Then divide that number by 5 to find how many 5 lb bags she could make.

She has 2 lb left over for her family - ask teacher for extra credit for this answer.

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
