Answer: x ≥ 5
Step-by-step explanation:
7 is increased by the product of a number and 3: 7 + 3x
Is at least 22: ≥ 22
Your equation is: 7 + 3x ≥ 22
subtract 7 from both sides
3x ≥ 15
divide both sides by 3
x ≥ 5
From the set {21, 37, 45}, use substitution to determine which value of x makes the inequality true.x - 8 > 29

Answer:
$9$
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again such that the calculator displays final number as $243$.
To find: number that Thea originally entered
Solution:
The final number is $243$.
As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,
the number before $243$ must be $324$.
As previously the number was squared, so the number before $324$ must be $18$.
As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,
the number before $18$ must be $81$
As previously the number was squared, so the number before $81$ must be $9$.
