Candace has $15 more than Amar. Their combined my money totals $85. Which system of equations represents this equation?

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Amara money be represented by a

Since Candace has $15 more than Amar. Therefore, Candace money will be = a + 15

Their total money will be 85 and this can be represented in an equation as:

a + (a + 15) = 85.

a + a + 15 = 85

2a + 15 = 85

2a = 85 - 15

2a = 70

a = 35

Amar money = $35

Candace money = $35 + $15 = $50

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
