Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
The given scale for the map means that a distance of 1 cm between two locations on the map corresponds to a real distance between them of 600,000 cm = 6 km.
So, if the distance between two places in reality is 87 km, on the map this would be represented by a distance of 14.5 cm, since
87 = 84 + 3
87 = 6 • 14 + 6 • (1/2)
87 = 6 • (14 + 1/2)
I like the substitution method. Which is when you make one equation equal only x or y and plug it into the other equation)
There is also the graphing method. If you graphed it, it might not be quite as accurate (at least on hand, on computer you would be pretty exact)
Then there is the elimination method. You multiply one of the equations by a coefficient so that you can eliminate x or y from the equation.
