Two towns in British Columbia are located on a map with a scale of 1 cm: 5,000,000 cm.

To approximate the actual distance between the two towns, a student measures the distance on the map to be 4.96 cm.

What is the actual distance between the two towns in kilometers?

1. 263 km
2. 138 km
3. 496 km
4. 248 km

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
