B. -5
F(-1)=2x-3
=2(-1)-3
=-2-3
=-5
The "outer" terms are x and -6, so their product is -6x.
The "inner" terms are +5 and x, so their product is 5x.
The sum of "outer" and "inner" terms is -6x +5x = -x. (selection B)
It already tells you that AE = AC and BE = BD.
so it just have to be AD = BC.
5y+7=7y-3 and y is 5.
construction = divide the figure into two parts.
now we have triangle abd and bdc.
first calculate the area of abd.
area of triangle= 1/2×base ×height
area of triangle= 1/2×18×7.5
area of triangle=67.5cm²
second calculate area of bdc
area of triangle=1/2×15.6×11.7
area of triangle=91.26cm²
area of the figure=area of abd + area of bdc
area of the figure=67.5cm²+ 91.26cm²
area of figure=158.76 cm².
