Start by distributing the 7 to both terms on the left hand side, and the 5 to both terms on the right hand side.
7(x - 2) = 5(x + 4)
7x - 14 = 5x + 20
Now, to solve for x, start by isolating the variable as much as you can.
7x - 5x = 20 + 14
2x = 34
x = 17

Answer:
28 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 1 inch represents 14 miles, we can find the actual distance by multiplying 14 by 2:
14(2)
= 28
So, the real cities are 28 miles apart.
Since you did not provide a diagram, I made one for easier reference. You are asking what kind of triangle is the one shaded in red. Since a rectangle has two sets of congruent sides, their diagonals are also equal. When two diagonals intersect each other, they make 4 congruent sides. Thus, the triangle is an isosceles triangle, since it has two equal sides ST and TR.
