5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15
-15 -15 subtract 15 from each side
5(2x - 8) = -30
÷5 ÷5 divide both sides by 5
2x - 8 = -6
+8 +8 add 8 to each side
2x=2
÷2 ÷2 divide both sides by 3
x = 1
Checking:
5(2(1)-8) + 15 = -15
5(-6) + 15 = -15
-30 + 15 = -15
-15 = -15 Correct! x=1
Answer:
Area of the figure = 254.5 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Area of rectangle = Length × Width</em></u>
<u><em>Area of triangle = 1/2(base × Height)</em></u>
<em>Dividing the figure into parts for convenience</em>
So,
Rectangle 1 (the uppermost):
4 × 6 = 24 cm²
Rectangle 2 (below rectangle 1):
15 × 8 = 120 cm²
Rectangle 3 (with rectangle 2):
11 × 4 = 44 cm²
Triangle 1 :
1/2(7 × 19) = 133/2 = 66.5 cm²
<em>Now adding up all to get the area of the figure:</em>
Area of the figure = 24 + 120 + 44 + 66.5
Area of the figure = 254.5 cm²
For you to do area it is length times width.
