Celeste wants to have her hair cut and permed and also go to lunch. She knows
she will need $95. The perm costs twice
as much as her haircut and she needs $5
for lunch.
How much does the perm cost?

the perm will cost $60

Step-by-step explanation:

take away $5 from the total because Its a set amount that's already known

which leaves 90 which if you  take 30 away you are left with 60 its twice the amount of the haircut, I didn't really do any math techniques so I'm sorry that my explanation is weird, I hope this helped

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
