Answer:
44ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Break the shape into 3 rectangles, two 3 by 2's and one 4 by 8. (Get 4 by subtracting 3 from 7 for the left and right most side)
3 x 2 = 6 ft^2
since there's two rectangles you end up 6 + 6 so you get 12 ft^2
then 4 x 8 = 32 ft^2
add 32 and 12, get 44 ft^2
If you use a proportion, you'll get:

Then, you use cross products:

Then, you algebraically solve x:

The answer is 5/3 inches , or 1 5/13 inches, or 1.6 repeating.
Answers:
1) To emphasize the slow increase in profits, it would be best for Bradley to use <u>Graph A</u> for his presentation.
2) Bradley should use this graph for his presentation becauase the profit <u>appears to increase less</u> on this graph.
2(5x)2(-7)=2x+10
2(5x)= 10x
2(-7)=-14
10x-14=2x+10
Solve:
10x-2x=8x
8x-14=10
14+10=24
8x=24
24/8=3
X=3
