Hello!

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x = 1/2, 9/2}$

|2x - 5| = 4

Solve for the negative and positive expressions:

2x - 5 = 4

2x = 9

x = 9/2

------------

-(2x - 5) = 4

-2x + 5 = 4

-2x = -1

x = 1/2.

Therefore, the solutions are x = 1/2 and 9/2.

The Natchez Trace Bridge in Franklin, Tennessee, is 1,500 feet long. Suppose you build a model of the bridge using a scale of 1

Set this up as a ratio putting inches on top and feet on bottom. Then your first ratio would be 1/25 since 1 inch is the same as 25 feet. In between them goes an equals sign and the the other ratio has an x on top (because inches is what we are looking for) and the 1500 on the bottom. Cross multiply to solve for x:
1(1500) = x(25). Divide both sides by 25 to get 60
