First, you set your problem up like this:
-4x+3=2x-6
add 6 to both sides so it looks like this:
-4x+9=2x
add 4x to both sides so it looks like this:
9=6x
divide 6 from both sides so this is your answer:
1.5=x
Black line (a) -
x = -2
Purple line (b) -
x = 3
Blue line (c) -
y = 6
Green line (d) -
y = -3
Red line (e) -
Not sure
Answer:
3 miles = 5280 yds
5280 yds > 5,000 yds
in this case 3 miles is greater than 5,000 yards
