Answer:
86 square inches
86 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Base: 3 × 10 = 30
Rectangle Sides: 2.5 × 10 = 25 (×2 = 50)
Triangle Sides: 2 × 3 = 6 (÷2 ×2 = 6)
Add: 30 + 50 + 6 = 86

Short answer: C
Remark
Since b is all by itself in equation 2, Substitute it into equation 1.
2a + 3b = 5
b = a - 5 Put this result in equation 1. Be sure and use brackets.
2a + 3(a - 5) = 5 Remove the brackets.
2a + 3a - 15 = 5 Notice the -5 inside the brackets becomes - 15
Combine like terms on the left.
5a - 15 = 5 Add 15 to both sides
5a = 5 + 15
5a = 20 Divide by 5
a = 20/5
a = 4
So far, c is the only possible answer.
b = a - 5
b = 4 - 5
b = - 1
