Answer:

X = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we can gather some pretty important information. For starters, "three times a number x" would give us 3x. Secondly, "increased by 4" would give us +4. Lastly, "equal to five times x" would be = 5x. If we put this all together we have the following Algebraic Equation.

$3x+4 = 5x$

Now we can start solving the equation.

$3x+4 = 5x$

$4 = 2x$

$2 = x$

So we can see that the value of x in this equation is 2.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Answer: speed is 540 km/h

Step-by-step explanation: Lets mark speed as v.

Because distenace is same, you can mark 6 h · 900 km/h = 10 h · v

and v = 5400 km / 10 h = 540 km/h.

Or using inverse proportions : 10 h / 6 h = v / 900 km/h .

Before multiplying you turn lastproportion around :

10 h / 6 h = 600 km/ h / v ,which gives 10 v = 6 · 900 km/h

and result is same

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

70%

Step-by-step explanation:

Maths homework takes 1/6×150mins

=150/6=25 mins

science homework takes 20/100×150

=3000/100

=30mins

Language Arts homework uses 1/3×150

=150/3

=50 mins

percent of time left for Marsha's social studies homework=total time used / original time

=(25+30+50)mins

=105mins/150mins×100%

=0.7×100

=70%
