Hey there!

We need to find the one value of x that, when plugged in, will equal 11.

You have asked if x can equal 5. Let's plug it in and see if it works.

3(5)+2=11

15+2=11

17=11

You can see that this statement is false. So, what can we do to find the right answer.

We need to isolate x so we can see what it equals. To do this, we will use inverse operations.

3x+2-2=11-2

3x=9

3x/3=9/3

x=3

If we plug in 3, you will see that it does equal 11, making the equation true.

I hope this helps!

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

A =315 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is found by

A = 1/2 (b1+b2) *h

where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the bases and h is the height

A = 1/2 ( 13+29) *15

A  = 1/2 (42)* 15

A =315 cm^2
