A lawn care company uses the formula c(h)= 9h+15 to find the cost c to perform services for h hours. a) Explain what the numbers 15 and 9 represent in context.

b) What does c(3)=42 mean?

c) Is the statement c(2)> c(5) true? Why or why not?

9 represents the cost every hour of labor, 15 most likely represents starting cost.

c(3)=42 means that after working 3 hours the cost is $42

c(5)>c(2), more hours are worked meaning more money is needed

Step-by-step explanation:

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
