Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write the equation.

-12 = x - 5

2. Since 5 is negative and we want to leave <em>x</em> by itself, add 5 to both sides. Adding 5 with cancel out the -5.

-12 +5 = x -5 +5

3. When you add +5 to -12, the equation you are left with will be:

-7 = x

Hope this helps :)

The historical walking tour of a town covers a total distance of 5 miles. The map shows that the path of the tour travels 3 inch

kari74 [83]

Since the problem is given all the total walking distance, the first thing we are going to do is find the total distance in the map:
$Diastance_{map}=3+4+2+1$
$Distance_{map}=10$
Now that we have the distance in the map, we can establish a ratio between the walking distance and the distance in the map:
$\frac{5miles}{10inches} = 0.5 \frac{mile}{inch}$

We can conclude that each inch the map represents 0.5 miles of walking distance.
