In order to find out what 36x + 9 is equivalent to,, we must factor out 9 from the expression. Once we do this you will find that this expression is equivalent to 9(4x + 1),, or option E.
Next we will look at the expression 9(4x -1). In order for us to find out the equivalent to this expression,, we must first multiply each term in the parenthesis by 9.
9 × 4x - 9
Now calculate the product
36x - 9
This means that the equivalent for this expression is 36x - 9,, or option A.
Lastly,, we will look at the final expression given which is 4(9x + 2). The first step for finding the equivalent of this expression is to multiply the numbers in the first parenthesis together.
(36x) + (4 × 2)
Now multiply the numbers in the second parenthesis together.
(36x) + 8
Remove the parenthesis
36x + 8
Now factor out 4 from the expression to get your final answer.
4(9x + 2)
This means that the last expression is equivalent to 4(9x + 2),, or option C.

Answer:
13 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
The bounding rectangle is 4 units wide and 5 units high, so has an area of 4×5 = 20 square units. From that are subtracted the areas of 4 triangles. 2 of them are 3 wide and 1 high, so have a combined area of 3×1 = 3 square units. The other two are 1 wide and 4 high, so have a combined area of 1×4 = 4 square units.
Then the area of the parallelogram is ...
20 -3 -4 = 13 . . . . square units
