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.

3x+4=5x
4=5x-3x
4=2x
X=2

Riya is applying to her garden.She applies it at a rate of 25 ,000 cm^3 of mulch for every m^2 of garden space. At what rate is

LekaFEV [45]

The rate in m³/m² is 40m³/m².

1 m³ is literally a cube with sides that are 1 m in length. 1 m = 100 cm, so each side of this cube is 100cm in length. Finding the volume means multiplying length by width by height:
100(100)(100)=1,000,000 cm³ in 1m³.

We know that we have 25,000cm³ of mulch; we divide to find how many cubic meters this is:
1,000,000/25,000 = 40 m³.

This makes the rate 40m³/m².
