What is the second step in solving the equation + 7 = 5?

add 7 to each side.
subtract 7 from each side.
divide each side by 3.
multiply each side by 3.

Multiply each side by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

What is the second step in solving the equation h/3 + 7 = 5?

we have

Solve for h

step 1

subtract 7 both sides

step 2

multiply by 3 both sides to isolate the variable h

therefore

The second step is

Multiply each side by 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
