Answer:

10x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

You subtract 15x-5=10x. Then you do -7+2. The 7 is negative . So it would be -7 plus two. So it would equal -5. So it's 10x-5

Answer:

8 square units and $\frac{40}{3}$ square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle ABC is 24 square units.

1. Triangles ABC and FBG are similar with scale factor $\frac{1}{3},$ then

$\dfrac{A_{\triangle FBG}}{A_{\triangle ABC}}=\dfrac{1}{9}\Rightarrow A_{\triangle FBG}=\dfrac{1}{9}\cdot 24=\dfrac{8}{3}\ un^2.$

2. Triangles ABC and DBE are similar with scale factor $\frac{2}{3},$ then

$\dfrac{A_{\triangle DBE}}{A_{\triangle ABC}}=\dfrac{4}{9}\Rightarrow A_{\triangle DBE}=\dfrac{4}{9}\cdot 24=\dfrac{32}{3}\ un^2.$

3. Thus, the area of the quadrilateral DFGE is

$A_{DFGE}=A_{\triangle DBE}-A_{\triangle FBG}=\dfrac{32}{3}-\dfrac{8}{3}=8\ un^2.$

and the area of the quadrilateral ADEC is

$A_{ADEC}=A_{\triangle ABC}-A_{\triangle DBE}=24-\dfrac{32}{3}=\dfrac{40}{3}\ un^2.$
