Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

m - slope
We ahve the slope m = 1/2 and the point (-2, 1). Substitute:

- point-slope form
Covert to the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):
<em>use the distributive property</em>
<em>add 1 to both sides</em>
- slope-intercept form
Convert to the standard form (Ax + By = C):
<em>multiply both sides by 2</em>
<em>subtract x from both sides</em>
<em>change the signs</em>
- standard form
Convert to the general form (Ax+By+C=0):
<em>add 4 to both sides</em>
- general form
1) expand the brackets
6(-3 - x) - 2x = 14
-18 - 6x - 2x = 14
simplify
-18 - 8x = 14
then add 18 to both sides to get the x's on there own
-8x = 32
then divide by -8
x = 32/-8
x = -4
2) multiply everything by 7x
2 + (6 x 7x) + ( 17x × 7x) = 18 x 7x
2 + 42x + 119x^2 = 126x
put everything on one side
119x^2 - 84x + 2 = 0
then use quadratic equation to solve
x = 0.024671849 or 0.6812105039
There are two sides 9 x 5
Two sides are 5 x 3
Two sides are 9 x 3
Surface area :
2 x 9 x 5 = 90
2 x 5 x 3 = 30
2 x 9 x 3 = 54
Total: 90 + 30 + 54 = 174 square inches
