Mathematics
1 answer:
denis23 [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  x = 17 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding segments are proportional.

  (3x)/(4x) = (3x +7)/(5x -8)

  3(5x -8) = 4(3x +7) . . . . . . . . multiply by 4(5x-8)

  15x -24 = 12x +28 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  3x = 52 . . . . . . . . . . add 24-12x

  x = 17 1/3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

The scale on a map is 2cm =25 miles Dave measured the distance to the next town 5cm How many miles away is the next town
denis-greek [22]

First we need to find the measurement for 1 centimetre. To do this, we need to divide the given amount of miles (25) by the given number of centimetres (2).

25 / 2 = 12.5

1 cm = 12.5 miles

Now we need to find the distance of the next town.

If the next town is 5 cm, and 1 cm is 12.5 miles, we need to multiply 12.5 by 5.

12.5 * 5 = 62.5

<h3>So the next town is 62.5 miles away!</h3>

If you are asked to round this to the nearest whole number, it would be 63 miles.

Hope this helped! <em>Brainliest? :)</em>
