<h2>Answer:</h2>

$x = \frac{22}{3}$

<h3>alternative form:</h3>

$x = 7 \frac{1}{3} \: or \: x = 7.33333333333$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

$2(3x + 1) = 17 - 3( x - 17) \\ distribute \\ \\ 6x + 2 = 17 - 3x + 51 \\ add \: 3x \: from \: both \: sides \\ \\ 9x + 2 = 17 + 51 \\ add \: 17 \: to \: 51 \\ \\ 9x + 2 = 68 \\ subtract \: 2 \: from \: both \: sides \\ \\ 9x = 66 \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 9 \\ \\ x = \frac{22}{3}$

Solve the inequality:<br><br> 3/10 is greater than or equal to k - 3/5

Ostrovityanka [42]

To solve the inequality 3/10 is greater than or equal to k - 3/5, we must first set it up. Since 3/10 is greater than or equal to something, we will have a greater than or equal to symbol, with the 'mouth' pointing towards 3/10. Setting this up we get:

3/10 ≥ k - 3/5

Now we want to get k by itself on one side. We can do this by adding 3/5 to each side.

3/10 + 3/5 ≥ k

Simplify

9/10 ≥ k
