we are given
The scale is

the distance from Happy Hill Park to Rainbow Valley Park is 4 1/2 inches
we can change it into rational form
and we get

so, we can multiply both sides by 9

now, we can simplify it

so, the actual distance between the two parks is 27 miles........Answer
X/3 has to be smaller tha 80%
so x can be 2 since 2/3=66% about
1/2 is less thn 2/3
answer is x is 2

the class sold 45 sandwiches and collected $150.75, all you need to do is divide.
150.75/45
= 3.35

Cancel out the denominators.
(x+5)² + 18 = -30
(x+5)² = -30 - 18
(x+5)² = -48
The equation is impossible, we have a negative number.
There isn't a number that squared gives a negative number (the square is always positive).
√(x+5)² = +/- √-48
x+5 = +/- √-48
IMPOSSIBLE
You can write the result in imaginary numbers
x+5=+/- 4i√3
