The laundry has been sorted into dark clothes and light clothes. The number of dark clothes is three more than twice the number

of light clothes. The laundry is 60% dark clothes. Choose the equation that best represents this scenario. x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 40 over 60 x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 60 over 40 x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 40 over 100 x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 60 over 100

Answer:

The correct answer is x over quantity of 2x + 3 = 40 / 100

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the correct answer because the problem states that the dark clothes is 3 more than twice the number of light clothes making the numerator x (light clothes) and the denominator 2x + 3 (dark clothes). The problem then states that the laundry is 60% dark clothes and the expression wouldn't be 40/60 nor would it be 60/40, the expression would be 40/100 and the 40 being the numerator (light clothes) leaving room for 60% of the entire load (dark clothes). I hope that I've helped your day improve, thank you for choosing brainly.

Answer:

x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 40 over 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let light clothes=x

Number of dark clothes = 2x + 3,

Dark clothes are 60% of total clothes

Light clothes=100%-60%

=40%

Light clothes / dark clothes = percentage of light clothes / percentage of dark clothes

x / 2x+3 = 40 / 60

x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 40 over 60

Computer usage has increased over time. But has the increase been more linear or more exponential? In 1997, 22.2% of the populat
denis23 [38]

That's an increase of 30,000,000 people in one year, a slope of 30 million and a good year for the internet.

If t is the year, and p is number of internet users,

p = 30000000(t - 1997) + 60000000

Answer: p = 30000000(t - 1997) + 60000000

As for linear versus exponential, one year of data can't really distinguish.

Help cause I haven’t been paying attention in class hehehe

Answer:

1) g ≥ 17

2) g > -10

3) g > -1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 7 (g-19) ≥ -14  divide both sides by 7

g - 19 ≥ -2          add 19 to both sides

∴ g ≥ 17

=======================================

2)   3(7g+17) > -19 + 14g

21g + 51 > -19 + 14g

21g - 14g> -19 - 51

7g > -70

g > -10

========================================

6(-6g+6) > -2(19g-17)

-36g + 36 > -38g + 34

-36g + 38g > 34 - 36

2g > -2

g > -1

========================================
