A random sample of cats at the local shelter shows 12 out 20 are kittens. If the shelter usually has 150 cats,
how many would you predict would be kittens?

90 kittens

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the percent of cats that are kittens using the 12 out of 20.

12/20 = 0.6 = 60%

Now, find 60% of 150 cats.

150 • 0.6 = 90 kittens

the answer is y < -3 or   y > 3

-3y > 7 + 2

-3 y > 9

y < -3

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
