Answer:
<em>1,760 actual miles separate Springfield from Glenview.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Scaling</u>
Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which is basically multiplying or dividing real dimensions by a constant factor. We use scaling when representing geographic locations on a map.
The map has the scale:
0.75 inch => 220 miles
This gives us the scaling factor as 220/0.75. There is no need to divide.
We are given the distance from Springfield to Glenview is 6 inches on the map. The actual distance is
6*220/0.75 = 1,760
1,760 actual miles separate Springfield from Glenview.
We have

First, we can combine like terms 3y and -7y to get -4y.
Then, we have

We could then subtract 8 on both sides to get

Finally, we isolate y completely by dividing both sides by -4, to get
