Answer:
The correct answer is A 27.46
Well, notice the composite is really just 4 triangles atop sitting on top of 4 rectangles, and all of them area stacked up at the edges.
so, for the rectangle's sides,
front and back are two 6x3 rectangles
left and right are two 6x3 rectangles
the bottom part is a 6x6 rectangle
now, we don't include the 6x6 rectangle that's touching the triangles, because that's inside area, and is not SURFACE area, so we nevermind that one.
now, the triangles are just four triangles with a base of 6, and a height of 4, in red noted there.
so, just get the area of all those rectangles and the triangles, sum them up and that's the
surface area of the composite,
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Equation is 
To find: flaw in Gwendolyn's work and the correct solution to the equation.
Solution:
In the given question,
the first step is 
The second step is 
(This step is obtained on multiplying
by
)
The third step is 
This step is wrong as on transposing 12 from left side of the equation in the second step to the right side, the following equation is obtained:

So, the correct solution is
