Answer:
18 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The map distance and ground distance are proportional.
(distance to school)/(3 in) = (12 miles)/(2 in)
Multiplying by 3 in gives ...
distance to school = (12 miles)(3/2) = 18 miles
Combine like terms:
11u+4v
4x - 2y = 14
y = 0.5x -1
Get just one variable on one side for both equations.
4x - 2y = 14 ⇒ 4x = 2y + 14 ⇒ 4x - 14 = 2y
y = 0.5x - 1 ⇒ x - 2 = 2y
Use the transitive property and then solve for x.
x-2 = 4x-14
12 = 3x
x = 4

45/75 = 30/x
30*75 = 2250/45 = 50
EF = 50 in.
