The function g is defined by:

g(x) = x² - x - 6

so

g (-4) = (-4)² - (-4) - 6 = 16 + 4 - 6 = 14

When g(x) = 6, we have

6 = x² - x - 6

x² - x - 12 = 0

Solve for x. We factorize this easily as

(x - 4) (x + 3) = 0

which gives

x - 4 = 0   or   x + 3 = 0

x = 4   or   x = -3

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
