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.

Which calculation and answer show how to convert 3/12 to a decimal Plz help ASAP

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Its C

Step-by-step explanation:

It is C becuase when converting a fraction to a decimal, you just divide the numerator by the denominator

Basically solve the fraction

3/12=1/4

1/4 is a bencmark so right away you should know that should equal to 0.25 since its a quarter.

Or you can always look it like this

3 is the numerator

the “/“ between is basically ”divided by”

And the 12 is the denominator

Now read the equation in that order

3/12= 3 DIVIDED BY 12

There you go!

Perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 90 m. If the length of the two equal sides is three fourth of the unequal side , find the

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The length of the equal side is 27 meters each and that of the unequal side is 36 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two sides being equal (also two equal base angles).

Let us assume the length of the two equal sides to be x meters each, and the length of the unequal side to be y meter. Since the perimeter of the triangle is 90 m, it can be expressed as:

x + x + y = 90

2x + y = 90

But the length of the equal side is three fourth of the unequal side, i.e x = 3/4y

Therefore:

2(3/4y) + y = 90

3/2y + y = 90

2.5y = 90

y = 90/2.5

y = 36 meters

Also x = 3/4 * 36 = 27 meters

The length of the equal side is 27 meters each and that of the unequal side is 36 meters
