1. A jug of sweet tea holds 5 gallons of tea. Each cup of tea being poured from the jug is 0.25 gallons.
A jug of Kool Aid holds 4 gallons, and each cup of
kool aid being poured from the jug is 0.2 gallons.
Which equation can be used to find c, the number of
cups of tea or kool aid that needs to be poured in
which both jugs will have the same amount?
A. 5 -0.25c = 4 -0.2c
B. 5 + 0.25c = 4 + 0.2c
C. 5 -0.25c = 4 + 0.2c
D. 5 + 0.25c = 4 - 0.2c

the correct answer is

c. 4

step-by-step explanation:

the given polynomial is

the degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent which is 4.

the -4 is called the leading coefficient.

this polynomial has only one term so it is a monomial.

the correct answer is option c.

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
