Answer:
if they are equal then it would be 6.5
 
        
             
        
        
        
Let u = x², then we would have u² + 5u - 6 = 0
From here, we can factor it and get us (u-1)(u+6) = 0
So our solution for u is u = -6 or 1.
Now substitute u back to x².
x² = -6 or 1
x = ±√(-6) or ±√1
Since ±√(-6) is not real number, we ignore it.
Which leave us x = ±√1 = <span>±1
So our real solution is x = -1 or 1.</span>
        
             
        
        
        
In order to answer that question, we need to know the scale of the map.
Without that information, no answer is possible.
I think you have it in the first part of the question ... the part you decided 
not to post.

OK.  Now that you've provided the scale of the map,
answering the question is a piece-o-cake.
Use a proportion:
  (1 inch on the map) / (4 miles on the ground) = ('x' on the map) / (17 miles on the ground) 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
64
Step-by-step explanation:
total of a triangle adds up to 180 degrees
so:
76+37=116
180-116=64
