Combine like terms

1. Add 3b and 5b (combine like terms)

2. After adding you are supposed to get 8b

3. The -2 would stay as it is because we can't add it to 8b

4. So the answer would be 8b-2

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length by the width: A = lw. A certain rectangle has an area of x2 + 7x + 12

sukhopar [10]

x^2+7x+12 can be done by factoring as a process of ax^2+bx+c, whereas a is equal to 1.

First, we need to know 2 numbers that multiply to 12 and add to 7. In that case, that would be 6 and 2. And then finally write the variable x in the first parts of the parentheses, that would be: (x+6)(x+2).

Answer: 10 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

We can divide the shape along the y-axis to get 2 separate triangles. If we find the area of each and add them up, we can get the total area of the figure.

We can get each triangle's area using the formula $A = \frac{1}{2}bh$
