5 0

For this problem you have a function, in the form of equation, that relates the actual distance and the distance of the points in the map.

The function is, y = 8x where x is distance i n cm, in the map, and y is actual distance in Km

Then, given that you know the actual distance is y = 64 km, you can solve for x:

y = 8x => x = y/8 = 64/8 = 8

Answer: distance in the map is 8 cm

21 cars, 32 motorcycles.
create a system of equations using x for cars and y for motorcycles.
$\left \{ {{x+y=53} \atop {4x+2y=148}} \right.$
multiply the top equation by 2 to prepare for elimination method
$\left \{ {{2x+2y=106} \atop {4x+2y=148}} \right.$
subtract terms
$\left \{ {{2x+2y=106} \atop {-4x-2y=-148}} \right. = (-2x = -42)$
divide both sides by negative 2 to solve for x
x =21
plug in x into original equation to solve for y.
21 + y = 53
subtract both sides by 21
y=32
