In function notation, where f is the function, f(x)=3x-10. Using f(x) means you can write things like f(0) which means: what is the value of the function when x=0? Think of f for flexibility, because functions have greater flexibility than variables like y.
The picture in the attached figure
we know that
area of the <span>the shaded region=area of rectangle -area of a kite
area of rectangle=(3x+x)*(x+x)----> 4x*2x---> 8x</span>²
area of a kite=(1/2)*[d1*d2]
where d1 and d2 are the diagonals
d1=4x
d2=2x
so
area of a kite=(1/2)*[4x*2x]----> 4x²
area of the the shaded region=8x²-4x²-----> 4x²
the answer is 4x²
The answer to this is 1 pound and 4 ounces.
