Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Determine the area of the top rectangle</u>
We can tell that the total shape seems like two rectangles glued together. We can separate the top rectangle and determine the area of it and then determine the area of the bottom rectangle and combine them. Lets first solve the left rectangle.



<u>Step 2: Determine the area of the bottom rectangle</u>



<u>Step 3: Determine the total area</u>



Answer: 
3 - 2a > 7
We need to solve for a
First, let's subtract 3 on both sides to have the variables on a side and the numbers on another side:
3 - 2a > 7
3 - 2a - 3 > 7 - 3
- 2a > 4
Let's divide both sides by -2 to have a on side and its value on the other side:
-2a > 4
(-2a)/(-2) > (4/-2)
a < -2 (In a case of an inequality, we change the sign when we divide by a negative number to its opposite).
So 3 - 2a > 7 when a < -2 (answer c)
Hope this helps! :D
