Whats the queastion think
1st option, 2nd, 4th and 5th
If the markers are 4.5 inches away on the map, and 2.5 inches represents 10 miles, then we need to make ratios we can work with.
Inches / Miles:
4.5 / x
2.5 / 10
Now, we can cross multiply to end up with:
2.5 * x = 4.5 * 10
Simplify:
2.5x = 45
Divide 2.5 on each side:
2.5x / 2.5 = 45 / 2.5
Simplify:
x = 45 / 2.5
x = 18
Awesome! Now we have a real ratio on the real distance of the markers.
<span>2.5 : 10 & 4.5 : </span><span>18.

18 miles is the actual distance between the two markers.
Hope I could help! If my math is wrong, or it isn't the answer you are looking for, please let me know!

Answer:
1) 2a+4a+10-6= 6a + 4
2) 3x-5x+7-7= -2x
3) - 15b+10 +10b= -5b + 10
4) - 4d+d-8-6+3b= - 3d - 14 +3b
