Answer:

The proportion that can be used is \frac{2}{15}\frac{inches}{miles}=\frac{30}{x}\frac{inches}{miles}

The actual distance is 225\ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale on a map is equal to

\frac{2}{15}\frac{inches}{miles}

so

by proportion

Find how many miles are 30 inches on the map

\frac{2}{15}\frac{inches}{miles}=\frac{30}{x}\frac{inches}{miles}\\ \\x=15*30/2\\ \\x=225\ miles

Which expressions are equivalent to 6 (–x) 2x (–7) 2x? Check all that apply. X x 6 – 7 x 2x 2 x 3 – x 2x – 4 2x x – 1 x 1.
qaws [65]

Equivalent expression is the expression which is equal to the original equation but the way of representation is different. The equivalent expression of the given expression are,

x+x+6-7+x

3-x+2x-4+2x=3x-1

Given information

The given expression in the problem is,

6+(-x)+2x+(-7)+2x

<h3>Equivalent expression</h3>

Equivalent expression is the expression which is equal to the original equation but the way of representation is different.

The given equation is,

6+(-x)+2x+(-7)+2x

As the product of the negative and positive is negative. Thus solve the equation by opening the bracket.

6+(-x)+2x+(-7)+2x=6-x+2x-7+2x\\&#10;6+(-x)+2x+(-7)+2x=-x+2x+2x+6-7\\&#10;6+(-x)+2x+(-7)+2x=3x-1

Check all the option,

  • 1) The expression given in the option 1 is,

x+x+6-7+x

Solve it further,

x+x+6-7+x=x+x+x+6-7\\&#10;x+x+6-7+x=3x-1\\

The result is equal to the result of the given expression. Thus the expression of the option 1 is equivalent to the expression given in the problem.

  • 2) The expression given in the option 2 is,

2x+2+x

Solve it further,

2x+2+x=2x+x+2\\2x+2+x=3x+2

The result is not equal to the result of the given expression. Thus the expression of the option 2 is not equivalent to the expression given in the problem.

  • 3) The expression given in the option 3 is,

3-x+2x-4+2x

Solve it further,

3-x+2x-4+2x=3x-1

The result is equal to the result of the given expression. Thus the expression of the option 3 is equivalent to the expression given in the problem.

  • 4) The expression given in the option 4 is,

x-1

The expression of the option 4 is not equivalent to the expression given in the problem.

  • 5) The expression given in the option 4 is,

x+1

The expression of the option 5 is not equivalent to the expression given in the problem.

Hence the equivalent expression of the given expression are,

x+x+6-7+x

3-x+2x-4+2x=3x-1

A line has a slope of
ahrayia [7]

a) What is the slope of the line parallel to it?

Parallel lines will never intersect, meaning they have equivalent slopes, so the answer to this part is -(6/5).

b) What is the slope of the line perpendicular to it?

Perpendicular lines will intersect, creating a 90-degree angle, meaning all values in the graphs have been flipped. Thus, the slope of any perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the given slope (-1/x). The negative reciprocal of -(6/5) is 5/6, so that is the answer.

Solve the congruence 169x 25 (mod 330)
DIA [1.3K]

First solve the congruence 13y\equiv1\pmod{330}. Euclid's algorithm shows

330 = 25 * 13 + 5

13 = 2 * 5 + 3

5 = 1 * 3 + 2

3 = 1 * 2 + 1

=> 1 = 127 * 13 - 5 * 330

=> 127 * 13 = 1 mod 330

so that y=127 is the inverse of 13 modulo 330. Then in the original congruence, multiplying both sides by 127 twice gives

127^2\cdot13^2x\equiv127^2\cdot5^2\pmod{330}\implies x\equiv127^2\cdot5^2\equiv403,225\equiv295\pmod{330}

Then any integer of the form x=295+330n is a solution to the congruence, where n is any integer.
