Answer:
Sarita’s solution is correct. She made an error in her verification. Sarita was supposed to add the 5 and 7 in the first step.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following equation:
The steps to solve it are:
5(x-3)+7(x+4)-73
1. Apply the Distributive property:
5x-15+7x+28=73
2. Add the like terms:
12x+13=73
3. Subtract5 13 from both sides of the equation:
12x+13-(13)=73-(13
12x=60
4. Divide both sides of the equation by 12:
12r/12 = 60/12
x = 5
To verify it, let's substitute into the equation:
5(5-3)+7(5+4)=73
Evaluating, we get:
5(2)+7(9)=73
10+63=73
73=73
Based on this, we can determine that Sarita's solution is correct, but she made an error in her verification (Observe that 5-3 is not equal to -2 )
Answer:
Height=9/2=4.5
A=1/2*b*h
A=1/2*6*4.5
A=13.5
13.5*2=27
The area of the shaded region is 27.
