14. Abdi has two electric train sets: A and B. Each train is on its own circular track. He starts both trains at the same time. Train A returns to its starting point every 12 seconds. Train B returns to its starting
point every 9 seconds. If the trains continue traveling, what is the least amount of time, in seconds,
that both trains will arrive at the starting points at the same time?
Show your work.

why can't you?

step-by-step explanation:

ab will be equal to

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
