Area = length x width
the "big" rectangle: length = 15, width = 14
the blue rectangle is: length = 15 - 4, width = 14 - 6
Area of blue rectangle = (15 - 4)(14 - 6)
Answer: D
Answer:
x = −6
Explanation:
5x + 7y = -23
Y = -2x - 11
Substitute -2x - 11 for y in 5x + 7y = -23
5x + 7(−2x − 11) = −23
Simplify both sides of the equation
5x + 7(−2x − 11) = −23
5x + (7)(−2x ) + (7)(−11) = −23 (Distribute)
5x + −14x + −77 = −23
(5x + −14x) + (−77) = −23 (Combine Like Terms)
−9x + −77 = −23
−9x − 77 = −23
Add 77 to both sides
−9x − 77 + 77 = −23 + 77
−9x = 54
Divide both sides by -9
−9x / -9 = 54 / -9
x = -6
Reflection rule in the x-axis:
g(x) = - f(x)
f(x) = 3x+12
g(x) = - f(x) = -3x-12
The correct choice is option (C)
This is what I got as the answer, 2b x (12-17a)
