Where is 7,0 located on the graph?

Hi!

When you want to locate coordinates on the graph, you need to trace left and right and up and down depending on what coordinates you are looking for.

For example: You want 7, 0

The first digit on the left (7) indicates the x-coordinate and to locate the x-coordinate, you move horizontally.

7 is a positive number so we move right starting from the origin (0, 0.)

Place your finger on the bottom left corner of your graph, (0, 0) and move to the right 7 times.

You will land on the coordinate (7, 0) because you move to the right 7 times and since the y-coordinate is 0, you do not move up or down. You stay where you are. (to find the y-coordinate, you have to move up or down but in this case, you don't move at all seeing as it is 0.)

Here's a picture :)

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
