x - Alma's given number
15•x - the number multiplied by 15 (the correct answer)
5•x - the number multiplied by Alma (Alma's answer)
her answer is 150 less than the correct answer:
5•x = 15•x - 150
15x - 150 = 5x
15x - 5x = 150
10x = 150
<u>x = 15</u>
Answer:
44 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a trapezoid with bases b₁ and b₂ and height h is given by the formula

If you're wondering how we get this formula, check the attached illustration (remember the area of a parallelogram is its base multiplied by its height)! Moving on to our trapezoid, the pairs of points (-5,-3)(4,-3) and (6,-7)(-7,-7) form two horizontal segments, which form b₁ and b₂, and our height is the distance between the y-coordinates -3 and -7, which is 4. We can find b₁ and b₂ by finding the distance between the x coordinates in their pairs of points:

Putting it altogether:

So the area of our trapezoid is 44.
