Answer:
y=-2x-5
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, you have to distribute -2 to (x-1) to get to this equation y+7=-2x+2. Then, you subtract 7 on both sides to get the slope-intercept of y = -2x - 5.
7/10 = x/12 which mean you need to multiply each side by 12 to find x. So the answer would be X= 8.4
We know the width of the rectangle in the middle of the trapezoid is 24 (from the top of the image), so we can subtract that from the bottom width of the trapezoid to get the combined length of the bottom of both triangles.

Since this is an isosceles trapezoid, both triangle bases are the same length, so we can cut this value in half to get the length of
and 

Finally, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of
