Answer:

impossible

Step-by-step explanation:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 56. To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract 3 from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. ...

3X + 3 = 56. 3X + 3 - 3 = 56 - 3.

3X = 53. 3X/3 = 53/3.

X = 17 2/3. Since 17 2/3 is not an integer, there is no true answer to this problem.

A drawing has a scale 1/4 in: 12ft. How long is 8ft?

allochka39001 [22]

If you use a proportion, you'll get:

$\frac{0.25}{12} = \frac{x}{8}$

Then, you use cross products:

$12x=0.25(8) \\ 12x=2$

Then, you algebraically solve x:

$12x=2 \\ \frac{12x}{12} = \frac{2}{12} \\ x= \frac{5}{3}$

The answer is 5/3 inches , or 1 5/13 inches, or 1.6 repeating.
