I might be bad at explaining or even wrong, but i tried. so here it goes.
2 is subtracted from a number (we'll put N for the missing number) and the difference is divided by 3. so i thought the difference was the final answer so i divided 30 by 3.
my equation came out to 2-n=30/3
so from there i did basic algebra.
i added the N to both sides so i came up with 2=30/3+N (so i wouldn't have a negative variable) and the divided 30/3 so then i had 2=90+N.
still with me? i hope so...
so then i subtracted 90 from both sides to get the variable alone and ended with -88=N.
so if you put N in you get 2-(-88)=30/3
you subtract 2 from -88 and get 90. so now you have 90/3 with equals 30.

<h3>Answer:  36 square units</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

Draw a horizontal line to cut the figure into a rectangle on top and a triangle down below.

The rectangle has length and width of 6 and 4 (horizontal and vertical components respectively). The area of this rectangle is 6*4 = 24 square units.

The triangle has a base of 6 and a height of 4. The base and height of any triangle are always perpendicular.

The area of the triangle is base*height/2 = 6*4/2 = 24/2 = 12 square units. If you were to cut out half of the triangle and rearrange things, you'll find that a rectangle can be formed. This rectangle is half in area that of the first rectangle we found. This is why we divide by 2 when finding the area of the triangle.

Once you know the two sub-areas, we add them up to get the overall area: 24+12 = 36 square units.

Answer:

Label your answer appropriately; if the question asks for measured units, make sure to put appropriate units on the answer. If the question is a word problem, the answer should be in words. In general, write your homework as though you're trying to convince someone that you know what you're talking about.
