Answer:

4.24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

1 inch / 50 miles = x / 212 miles Cross multiply

1 inch * 212 miles = 50 miles * x Divide by 50 miles

1 inch * 212 miles / 50 miles = x

x = 4.24 inches.

How much is 0.24 of an inch?

0.24 * 50 = 12

So 0.24 inches represents 12 miles.

Which of the following graphs best represents the solution to the pair of equations below? y = −x + 6 y = 2x − 3 A coordinate pl

Lera25 [3.4K]

The lines are

i) y=-x+6
ii) y=2x-3

The solution of the system of equations is found by equalizing the 2 equations:

-x+6=2x-3

-2x-x=-6-3

-3x=-9

x=-9/(-3)=3

substitute x=3 in either i) or ii):

i) y=-3+6=3
ii) y=2(3)-3=6-3=3

(the result is the same, so checking one is enough)

This means that the point (3, 3) is a point which is in both lines, so a solution to the system.

In graphs, this means that the lines intersect at (3, 3) ONLY

Answer: The graph where the lines intersect at (3, 3)
