Chris has 7/8 yards of purple ribbon and one whole one over 6 yards of ribbon Chris has a total of three holes to over 3 yards of ribbon how many yards of Chris's ribbon are neither purple nor green

Complete question :

Chris has 7/8 yards of purple ribbon and 1 1/6 yards of green ribbon. Chris has a total of 3 2/3 yards of ribbon. How many yards of Chris's ribbon are neither purple nor green.

1.625 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Purple ribbon = 7/8 yards

Green ribbon = 1 1/6 yards = 7/6 yards

Total ribbon = 3 2/3 yards = 11/3 yards

Ribbon that is neither purple nor green :

Total ribbon - (green + purple ribbon)

7/8 - (7/6 + 7/8)

11/3 - (28 + 21) / 24

11/3 - 49/24

= 1.625 yards

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
