Sam works at Mountain Springs Dairy Bar. He makes milkshakes and ice cream cones. One day he made 12 milkshakes. One third of the milkshakes he made were chocolate. How many chocolate milkshakes did he make?

4  milkshakes

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 of 12 = 4.

3 x 4 = 12

4 milkshakes were chocolate

Step-by-step explanation:

4 goes into 12, 3 times

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
