<span>In this problem, to find the answer we have to setup a series of ratios that relate the scale to real life distance. We know that 1cm = 2.50km, so that ratio would be 1cm/2.5km. For two towns that are 4.75cm apart on the map, we set a ration of 4.75cm/x km, where x is the actual distance. Now we set the ratios equal to each other and solve for x. 1/2.5=4.75/x where x = 4.75*2.5/1 = 11.875 and rounding up we get 11.88 km. The two towns are actually 11.88 km apart from each other.</span>
Answer:
a) 
b) It takes 5.390 years to pay off the loan.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The differential equation for the variation in the amount of the loan M is

We can express this equation as:

(b) We can calculate this as M(t)=0

It takes 5.390 years to pay off the loan.
Answer: Hello daema, let's let x be the goal and c be the collection per day.
x - 45 + c = x + 5 is the answer so now let's talk about how we did that.
So she wants to get to x which is the goal. But right now she has 45 less than what her goal is. So that would look like this x - 45 now she has to get c or the collection per day to get to her goal. So now it looks like this x - 45 + c. Now that c has to be at least x which is her goal, it now will look like this x - 45 + c = x. But we're not done, the question said that now she 5$ over her goal, or x. So we have to add the + 5 onto the end so now it looks like this x - 45 + c = x + 5. To solve the equation "if you have to" it would be x = 50$ per day.
