Correct question:

Evaluate the expression below for x = 2, y = –3, and z = –1.

Given:

Options:

A.–23

B.–5

C.13

D.27

B. -5

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we are given the following values:

x = 2

y = -3

z = -1

Given the expression:

To evaluate, let's substitute for 2, -3 & - 1 for x, y & z respectively

Therefore,

Substituting values, we have:

Simplifying, we have:

= -5

The correct answer is option B

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
