A is the correct answer. ☺️
For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
We have then:
x: real number
Now we write the expression:
-8 / (x + 3)
The number x can be all real different from minus three.
Answer:
-8 / (x + 3)
With x different from -3.
Ok so 2cm on the blueprint is actually 7cm in real life
2:7=1:3.5
for every cm on the map, it is 3.5 times that in real life
so total legnths
17 times 3.5+18 times 3.5+18 times 3.5+19 times 3.5=
59.5+63+63+66.5=
252
answer is 252cm
