So, Jerome bought a total of 80 cards (8x10) out of which he gave out 30 cards (3x10) so he has 50 cards left. (80-30)
The answer is (3,-4) because it machtes up with (-5,-4) and (3,4), so it (3,-4) is correct.
Hello there!
Yes, your solution is correct! A way to check it is replacing the value you found for x into x in the equation.
3(2-x) = 7 - 4x ⇒ 3(2-1) = 7 - 4(1)
And now solve 3(2-1) = 7 - 4(1).
3(1) = 7 - 4(1)
3 = 7 - 4
3 = 3
Since it is a true statement that 3 is equal to 3, it means your solution of x = 1 is correct. Good job! :)
Split the shape into smaller shapes, (see attachment)
find the area of the split shapes. So first find the area of the triangles
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2*2*3
A = 1/2*6
A = 3
so that is the area of one triangle. the area of the other is
A = 1/2*4*3
A = 1/2 * 12
A = 6
now find the area of the rectangle
A = l*w
A = 9*3
A = 27
add them all together
27 + 6+ 3 = 36
the area of the total figure is 36
