The answer is 1.2 b/c you have to solve x by simplifying both sides of the equation and isolating the variable.
First find the area of the parallelogram
Area of parallelogram = b x h
= 12 x 7
= 84
Then find area of kite
Area of kite = (xy)/2
= (7 x 12)/2
= 84/2
= 42
Now we are gonna subtract the area of the kite from the area of the parallelogram.
84 - 42 = 42
Therefore the area of the shaded region is 42.
The signs of the x-term and the constant term are both positive, so the signs of the constants in the binomial factors must be the same and must both be positive. The only offering that meets that requirement is
... C (2x+1)(3x+5)
_____
If you multiply that out, you get 6x² + 10x + 3x + 5 = 6x² +13x +5, as required.
The sign of the constant term is the product of the signs of the constants in the binomial factors: (+1)·(+5). We want a positive sign for the constant, so both binomial factor constants must have the same sign.
When the signs of the binomial factor constants are the same, the x-term constant will match them. Thus, for a positive x-term constant, both binomial factor constants must be positive.
