Simplify the difference (b^2-2b-8)/(b^2+b-)/(b-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by factoring out all polynomials in the expression:

where we can simplify the factor (b+2) that appears in numerator and denominator of the first rational expression, to reduce it to:

Now we can combine both rational expressions since they share the same denominator:

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

answer is 33
