On this date, October 5, in 1947, U. S. President Harry Truman gave the first televised speech from the White House. It played to a limited audience, however, as there were only about 44,000 television sets in the U. S., mainly in a few major cities. At the same time, there were about 40 million radios in the U. S. What was the ratio of radios to televisions in the U. S. in 1947? Express your answer in lowest terms​

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
