Find actual distance when map distance = 6 inches
Substitute 6 for Map in 

Express as fractions


Cross Multiply



<em>Hence, the actual distance is 480 miles</em>
11) -x + y = -1 ; 2x - y = 0
y = -1 + x ; 2x - (-1+x) = 0 ⇒ 2x + 1 - x = 0 ⇒x = -1
y = -1 + (-1) ⇒ y = -2
12) -2x + y = -20 ; 2x + y = 48
y = -20 + 2x ; 2x + (-20 + 2x) = 48 ⇒ 2x -20 + 2x = 48 ⇒ 4x = 48 + 20
4x = 68 ⇒ x = 68/4 ⇒ x = 17
y = -20 + 2(17) ⇒ y = -20 + 34 ⇒ y = 14
13) 3x -y = -2 ; -2x + y = 3
y = 3 + 2x ; 3x - (3 + 2x) = -2 ⇒ 3x - 3 - 2x = -2 ⇒ x = -2 + 3 ⇒ x = 1
y = 3 + 2(1) ⇒ y = 3 + 2 ⇒ y = 5
14) x - y = 4 ; x - 2y = 10
x = 4 + y ; (4 + y) - 2y = 10 ⇒ 4 + y - 2y = 10 ⇒ 4 - y = 10
⇒ -y = 10 - 4 ⇒ -y = 6 ⇒ y = -6
x = 4 + (-6) ⇒ x = 4 - 6 ⇒ x = -2
15) x + 2y = 5 ; 3x + 2y = 17
x = 5 - 2y ; 3(5-2y) + 2y = 17 ⇒ 15 - 6y + 2y = 17 ⇒ -4y = 17 - 15
⇒ -4y = 2 ⇒ y = -2/4 ⇒ y = -1/2
x = 5 - 2(-1/2) ⇒ x = 5 + 2/2 ⇒ x = 5 + 1 ⇒ x = 6
Answer:
1. no
2. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 20 does not equal 4/5
2. 6x=48 divide 6 on both sides
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 1/4(x + 12)=2 - first isolate X'
- 12 -12
2. 1/4(x) = -10 - 1/4 since its a fraction, you'll have to subtract not divide
-1/4 - 1/4
3. x = -10.25
Andre did the first step correctly, but on the second step he just divided 1.4 by -10, instead of subtract 1/4 from both sides.
<span>h = Williams hours
h + 2.5 = Jose's hours because he worked 2.5 hours more than William, so you add 2.5 to William's hours (which is represented by h) to get Jose's hours
then you add them together..</span><span>
