To increase and increase an amount by 70%
what single multiplier would you use?

Increase: 1.7

Decrease: 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Increase:

100% + 70% = 117%

117/ 100 = 1.7 (multiplier)

Decrease:

100% - 70%= 30%

30/ 100 = 0.3 (multiplier)

a: 1/6, j: 1/4

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
