The area of the central rectangle = 5 * 3 = 15 ins^2
area of each triangle = 1/2*3*3 = 4.6 ins^2
Total area = 2*4.5 + 15 = 24 ins^2 (answer)
Answer:
8x + 6 + 4 = 3x - (2x + 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
When Gio applies the distributive property, the equation above is the result. Naturally, I look at the 1st parenthesis I see and start the 1st distributive property there first. The 2nd distributive property would be the other parenthesis where you multiply by -1, so you would get 8x + 6 + 4 = 3x - 2x - 4
