Dwayne is trying to find the fraction represented by the repeating decimal 0.5. He completes the three
steps shown:
1) Let x = 0.5
2) 10x = 5.5
3)
10x =
5.5
-X =
9x = 5
0.5
What is the purpose of Step 3?
It removes the repeating part of the decimal from the equation.
o It shows that 0.5 is an irrational number.
It puts the fraction in lowest terms.
It shows that 0.5 is a terminating decimal.

It removes the repeating part of the decimal from the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Described here is the process of converting the repeating decimal fraction into fraction in the form of p/q

1)

2)

3)

So the purpose of step 3 here is to remove the repeating part of the decimal from the equation

Correct option is the first one.

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
