Okay. so basically you have to isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable. the answer is
y=1.2
Let the actual distance be x mile.
1/4 inch = 1/2 mile
9/2 inch = x mile
(9/2)/(1/4)=x/(1/2)
18=2x
x=9
the actual distance is 9 mile.
The answer to your question is -102
Answer:

The equation is TRUE.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the given equation:

You need to find the value of the variable "d". You can apply this procedure:
- Multiply both sides of the equation by 9:

- Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

Check the solution substituting the value of "d" into the equation and evaluating:
