How do you find distance if 1/4 inch equals 2 miles and the other location is 3 3/4 inches aprt

Step-by-step explanation:

7/4      is not the answer

Find how many 1/4 inches are in 3 3/4 inches:

There are four 1/4 inches per inch.

3 inches x 4 = 12, there are twelve 1/4 inches in 3 inches and there are three 1/4 inches in 3/4 inch.

So there are a total of fifteen 1/4 inches in 3 3/4.

Now multiply the total 1/4 inches by 2 miles.

15 x 2 = 30 miles total.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
