Firstly, we will draw figure
now, we will draw a altitude from B to DC that divides trapezium into rectangle and right triangle
because of opposite sides of rectangle ABMD are congruent
so,
DM=AB=9
CM=CD-DM
CM=18-9
CM=9
now, we can find BM by using Pythagoras theorem
![BM=\sqrt{BC^2-CM^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20BM%3D%5Csqrt%7BBC%5E2-CM%5E2%7D%20%20)
now, we can plug values
we get
![BM=\sqrt{15^2-9^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20BM%3D%5Csqrt%7B15%5E2-9%5E2%7D%20%20)
![BM=12](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20BM%3D12%20%20)
now, we can find area of trapezium
![A=\frac{1}{2} (AB+CD)*(BM)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20A%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%28AB%2BCD%29%2A%28BM%29%20)
now, we can plug values
and we get
![A=\frac{1}{2} (9+18)*(12)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20A%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%289%2B18%29%2A%2812%29%20)
![A=162cm^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20A%3D162cm%5E2%20)
so, area of of the trapezoid is

Equation:
y - 10 = -5x
Solve:
(y - 10) + 10 = (-5x) + 10
y = -5x + 10
Remember the formula (Slope Intercept Form):
y = mx + b
m = Slope (Rise/Run)
b = Y-intercept
So your graph would look something like the attached image:
<em>(Need further elaboration? Let me know!)</em>
The answer is 48. I'm sorry I can't explain cuz it's a long process
3(n-7)=-30
3n-21= -30
3n = -9
n= -3
