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.

Ierofanga [76]

For this case what you can do is factorize the polynomial equation, which would be left like follows
x ^ 3 + x ^ 2 + 9x + 9 = 0
(x + 1) (x ^ 2 + 9) = 0
Resolving, we have that the missing root is
x = -1

Answer: The manager should sell the chair for $1740.

Step-by-step explanation:

45% of 1200 Solve this to find the amount increase

0.45 * 1200 = 540 Now add this amount to find the price.

$1200 + $540 = $1740

or you could do it this way

100% + 45% = 145%

145% of 1200 =?

Answer by JKismyhusbandbae: expression 2 and expression 1

Look at the four expressions. Simplify any expressions that can be simplified to see which two are equivalent.

8v × 30v = ( 8 × 30) × ( v × v) = $240v^2$

Since expression 2 can be simplified to expression 1, they are equivalent.

What is the answer to 2/3 of something equals 10

denis23 [38]

In math, when you see the word "of" it usually means "times".

So the question is:

2/3 times something = 10

Multiply each side of the equation by 3 :

2 times something = 30

Divide each side by 2 :

 something = 15
