Joanna went to the farmers market to buy some apples and oranges. she bought 8 oranges and some apples. the cost per orange was $1.79 and the cost per pound of apples was $1.49. joanna spent a total of $23.26 on apples and oranges at the farmers market.
let p represent the number of pounds of apples joanna bought.
create the equation that symbolizes this situation, and then answer the question below.
$1.291.491.791.99p + $11.9212.7213.5214.32 = $20.2622.3623.2626.23
did joanna buy a total of 5 pounds of apples at the farmers market? yesno

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

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
