Marcus is putting new tiles on his kitchen fllor. The kitchen floor is 6.1 feet wide and 9.5 feet long. How many square feet of tile will Marcus need to purchase?

  57.95

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the floor is (6.1 ft)(9.5 ft) = 57.95 ft². This will be the minimum that Marcus will want to purchase.

If we assume that tiles come in pieces 1 ft square, then Marcus will need a minimum of 58 square feet.

If Marcus does not want to piece together any tiles at the edges, he will want to purchase 10×7 = 70 square feet of tile.

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
