Using proportions, it is found that the two cities are 27.5 miles apart.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.
From the given scale, we have that <u>each inch of distance represents 10 miles</u>. Hence the distance in miles for a distance of 2 and 3/4 miles = 2.75 miles is given by:
D = 10 x 2.75 = 27.5 miles.
Hence, the two cities are 27.5 miles apart.

Step 1: Assign variable for the unknown that you need to find.

Step 2: List the given details
Distance between you and your friend is 12 miles. It means the total distance traveled by you by walk and your friend using bicycle when both travel towards each other to meet in 't' hours
Equation 1:

Your Walking rate and your friends Cycling rate is given below:

Step 3: Set up an equation using the relationship between distance, time and rate.


Substituting the above in equation 1

Distance traveled by you by walking from home and distance travelled by your friend in cycle in 0.8 hours is given below:

Answer: option D. 2x^2 + (3/2)x - 5
Explanation:
1) polynomials given:
f(x) = x/2 - 2 and g(x) = 2x^2 + x - 3
2) question: find (f + g) (x)
That means that f(x) + g(x), so you have to add up the two polynomials given.
3) x/2 - 2 + 2x^2 + x - 3
4) Combine like terms:
a) terms with x^2: you only have 2x^2, so it is not combined with other term.
b) terms with x: x/2 + x
that is a sum of fractions: x/2 + x = [x + 2x] / 2 = 3x / 2 = (3/2)x
c) constant terms: - 2 + (-3) = - 2 - 3 = - 5
5) Result: 2x^2 + (3/2)x - 5
That is the option d.
A because your not dividing it by 5 your subtracting 5 from k divided by 2
