Answer:
The distance between the two piers is <u>3 miles.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
If in Tasha's drawing 2cm represents 0.5 miles between the two piers, and the distance between the two piers in Tasha's drawing is 12cm.
The answer is found by <u>the rule of three:
</u>
2 cm : 0.5 miles
12 cm : X
X = (12 * 0.5) / 2
X = 3 miles.
The distance between the two piers is actually 3 miles.
X+6y=12
6y=12-x
y=12/6- x/6
y=(-1/6)(x)+2
When you divide a negative and a positive, you don't have to worry about the negative that much. Just divide like normal, and then add the negative at the end. However, if you divide a negative by a negative, it's double negative, and therefore positive. So in the case of -19 / 13, the answer would be negative.
Hope this helps! :)
