inches. Based on Donna’s measurement, what is the actual distance, in miles, between her town and the state capital? Show your work and explain your reasoning.

Part B Donna wants to mark her favorite campsite on the map. She knows that the campsite is 65 miles north of her town. What distance on the map, in inches, represents an actual distance of 65 miles? Show your work and explain your reasoning.

we need to see the graph to know but

strong positive is if it is going up from left to right in a straight diagonal line (like this /)

strong negative is the same but from right to left (like this \)

weak negative is the same as strong negative but its more straight line still right to left

and weak positive is the same as strong positive but more a straight line still left to right though.

the terms in pattern b are 4 times the terms in pattern a

no solution

the equation

  2 + 3x = 3x - 2

is equivalent to, if you subtract 3x from both sides

  2 = -2

which is always a false equation. this equation will never be satisfied, so there is no solution to this equation.
