  x -2 = 5

  x = 7 . . . . . . add 2

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

3,535 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

55cm=88km

Let's make that "one unit" - 55cm=1 unit. How many units are in the distance 5656km?

5656km/88km=64.2727... units.

55cmx64.2727... = 3,534.999 cm (depending on what your teacher requires, we can probably round to 3,535).

Therefore, we know that the two cities are 3,535 cm apart on the map.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: 63 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

Therefore: 54 + y + y = 180

So 54 + 2y = 180

So 2y = 126

Therefore y = 63 degrees.
