L = 4D + 54 <== ur equation
the crew worked for 31 days...so sub in 31 for D
L = 4(31) + 54
L = 124 + 54
L = 178 miles <==
2x4=8 is the expression gets the answer
It’s A because 2+3=5 and 5x7=35
Rewrite the boundary lines <em>y</em> = -1 - <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> = <em>x</em> - 1 as functions of <em>y </em>:
<em>y</em> = -1 - <em>x</em> ==> <em>x</em> = -1 - <em>y</em>
<em>y</em> = <em>x</em> - 1 ==> <em>x</em> = 1 + <em>y</em>
So if we let <em>x</em> range between these two lines, we need to let <em>y</em> vary between the point where these lines intersect, and the line <em>y</em> = 1.
This means the area is given by the integral,

The integral with respect to <em>x</em> is trivial:

For the remaining integral, integrate term-by-term to get

Alternatively, the triangle can be said to have a base of length 4 (the distance from (-2, 1) to (2, 1)) and a height of length 2 (the distance from the line <em>y</em> = 1 and (0, -1)), so its area is 1/2*4*2 = 4.
