Your weekly base salary is $150. you earn $20 for each cell phone that you sell. write and solve an inequality that represents the number of cell phones you must sell to make at least $630 a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cell phones be represented by X;

Price per cell phone = $20

$150 is a constant

Minimum goal per week = $630

The inequality will be;

150 + 20X 630

20X 630 -150

20X 480

Divide both sides by 20 to solve for X;

X 480/20

X 24

Therefore, you must sell at least 24 cell phones.

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
