Christian Woodruff has $160 to spend on parking and admission to Hershey. The parking will cost $12, and admission tickets will cost $20.50 per person, including tax. Write and solve an equation that can be used to determine the number of people that he can bring to Hershey Park including himself. *

7 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with $160. and subtract $12 for parking because you have to pay that no matter how many people you buy tickets for.

160-12=148

Now you can see how many tickets you can buy with $148 by dividing by the price of the ticket which is $20.50

148/20.5=7.21951219512

You can buy 7 tickets

if you do the math, there is $4.50 leftover

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
