3) sandy wants to make cookies. to make cookies, she needs 15 cups of flour per
batch of cookies. if sandy has 24 cups of flour, then how many batches of cookies can
sandy make?

She can make 1.6 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

24/15 = 1.6

Answer is

1.6

15 > 1

24 > x

X=( 24*1)/15

X= 25/15 = 1.6

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
