There are 12 sixth graders, 14 seventh graders,
and 7 eighth graders in a gym class. The gym
teacher randomly selects one student to collect
balls. In how many ways can choosing not a
seventh grader occur?

There are 12 sixth graders, 14 seventh graders,  and 7 eighth graders in a gym class.

The gym  teacher randomly selects one student to collect  balls, then the number of choosing that will not pick a seventh grader is:

N = number of six graders + number of eight graders = 12 + 7 = 19 (ways)

Hope this helps!

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
