exis [7]3 years ago

The LCD is 12.  Thus, your 

(x-2)/4 - (x+3)/3 = -2 becomes  12((x-2)/4 - (x+3)/3 = -2), or

                                                    3(x-2) - 4(x+3) = -36

Then 3x - 6 - 4x - 12 = -36.  Combining like terms,

 -x = -36 + 18, or -x = -18, or x = 18.  

Check this result by subbing 18 for x in the given equation.

Please note:  You must use parentheses here as indicated to eliminate any ambiguity about order of operations and what divides into what.

Need to know how to find the area of this figuer​
adelina 88 [10]
The answer is 12 m.

How to solve:

First find out the height of the bottom square, which is done by doing 3 x 3 which gives you 9

Next find out the height of the triangle by doing 5 - 3 which gives you 2

Find out the area of the triangle by doing 2 x 3 which gives you 6. 6 is not the area of one triangle but of two of them as a square. You need to divide 6 by 2 in order to find out the area of the triangle. This gives you 3.

3 + 9 = 12
