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:

Statistical significance

Step-by-step explanation:

The Statistical significance provides a link between the dependent and the independent variable. It provides us the indication that the change in the independent variable is correleated with the shift caused in the dependent variable.

-2|7 - 9c| + 7 = -15 Solve for C

IgorLugansk [536]

Solve for c by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

Exact form: c = -4/9, 2

Decimal form: c = -.4, 2

Find k so that the distance from (–1, 1) to (2, k) is 5 units. k= k= *there are two solutions for 2*

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

k = -3

k =5

Step-by-step explanation:

$d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\d = 5\\(-1,1) =(x_1,y_1)\\(2,k)=(x_2,y_2)\\$

$5=\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-1\right)\right)^2+\left(k-1\right)^2}\\\\\mathrm{Square\:both\:sides}:\quad 25=k^2-2k+10\\25=k^2-2k+10\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:25=k^2-2k+10:\\k^2-2k+10=25\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}25\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\k^2-2k+10-25=25-25\\k^2-2k-15=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:by\:factoring}\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:}k^2-2k-15:\quad \left(k+3\right)\left(k-5\right)\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:k+3=0:\quad k=-3\\$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:k-5=0:\quad k=5\\\\k =5 , k=-3$
