Question

How do I solve this problem?

Answer 1

$\text {Area of a triangle = } \dfrac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$

$\text {Area of a triangle = }$

$\dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{2x^2 - x - 1}{x-3} \times \dfrac{2x^2 +2x - 24}{2x + 1}$

$= \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{(x-1)(2x+1)}{x-3} \times \dfrac{2(x+4)(x-3)}{2x + 1}$

$= (x -1 )(x +4)$
