Answer:

Answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 9 to both sides.

$6b-9+9=-87+9\\6b=-78$

Divide both sides by 6

$\frac{6b}{6} =\frac{-78}{6} \\b=-13$

Answer:

The area and the perimeter of the picture are:

Area = 160 cm^2
Perimeter = 67.31 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of that figure, you can find the area how if it was a rectangle and next subtract the area of the triangle in the upper part. The area of a rectangle could be found by the next formula:

Area of a rectangle = base * height

As you can see in the picture, the base is 16 cm and the height is 12 cm, then we replace in the formula:

Area of a rectangle = 16 cm * 12 cm
Area of a rectangle = 192 cm^2

Now, we calculate the area of the triangle to subtract to the area we found and obtain the real area, the formula to obtain the area of a triangle is:

Area of a triangle = (base * height) / 2

The height of the triangle is 8 cm, and the base is 8 cm too, because you subtract to the base of the rectangle (16 cm) the measurements in the upper part (16 - 4 - 4 = 8), Now, we replace in the formula:

Area of a triangle = (8 cm * 8 cm) / 2
Area of a triangle = (64 cm^2) / 2
Area of a triangle = 32 cm^2

We subtract to the found area:

Area of the picture = 192 cm^2 - 32 cm^2
Area of the picture = 160 cm^2

To find the perimeter, you must add all the sides of the picture, but, as you can see, there is a side that doesn't have the measurent, this is the hypotenuse of the triangle used before, but how we know the other sides, we can use Pythagorean theorem:
