In numbers only:
4x + 3 = 6x - 5
C)x = 4
Okay so what we know is that there are 6 sides.
—————-————————————————————
3separate groups have the same measurements. So really 3 groups of 2 that have the same measurements.
—————————————————————
2 sides are 3*2 —————>an area of 6
2 sides are 3*2—————>an area of 6
2 sides are 2*2—————>an area of 4
—————————————————————so, we add those #s up and get 6+6+4 which equals 16 as your answer.
