Amap has a scale of 2 inches = 15 miles. if two towns are 7 inches apart on the map, how far apart are they actually i’l4l givebut show me how you got the answer

1.) set up a w_k_u chart

2.) in the w column write in on top and mi in the bottom like this

w_K_U

in_

mi_

then in the k column write 2 for in and 15 for mi

W_K_U

in_2_

mi_15_

then in the U column, you write 7 for in and x for mi

W_K_U

in_2_7

mi_15_x

then cross multiply:  2x = 15(7)

multiply 15 times 7 which is 105

2x=105

divide 2x by 2

x=105 

answer 105

Step-by-step explanation:

1st integer x

2nd integer x+1

3rd integer x+2

4th integer x+3

x+x+1 +x+2+x+3 =74

combine like terms

4x+6 = 74

subtract 6 from each side

4x = 68

x = 17

the integers are 17,18,19,20
