Marcus painted one-third of his bedroom in fourth-fifths of an hour. At this rate, how long would it take him to paint the entire room?

2 2/5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If Marcus takes 4/5 an hour to paint 1/3 of the room, then you have to multiply 4/5 times 3 for every 1/3 of the room.

Sorry if this is hard to understand, this is my first time answering.

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
