Answer: 107 units.
Step-by-step explanation: To find the area of the first box, you multiply the side lengths, which in this case are 5 by 7 to get 35. Then you find the area of the second box by multiplying 8 * 10 which is 80 so the total area of everything is 115 units. Then you subtract the non - shaded region which is 2 * 4 units. So after subtracting 115 - 8, you get your final answer of 107 units.
You could actually find the compositions and thus have something to compare. You haven't shared the list of possible answer choices.
(f+g)(x) = 5x - 3 + x + 4 = 6x + 1
(f-g)(x) = 5x - 3 - x - 4 = 4x - 7
(f*g)(x) = (5x-3)((x+4) = 5x^2 + 20x - 3x - 12 = 5x^2 + 17x - 12
There are also the quotient (f/g)(x) and the compositions f(g(x)) and g(f(x)).
WRite them out.
Then you could arbitrarily select x values, such as 2, 10, etc., subst. them into each composition and determine which output is greatest.
One foot is defined as 0.3048 meters.
The answer would be, x = -14
