Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 but don’t flip the symbol.
You only flip the inequality symbol if you divide by a negative number.
If you’re solving for x (which you are), you want to get x by itself. The only way to do that is to divide by 4.
Answer:
B) 44
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start with the triangles. Normally, when dealing with triangles, you would use the formula (B*H*1/2), but since there's two identical triangles, we can just do (B*H) and get the area for both:
2.5*5.5=<u>13.75</u>
Then to solve for the square, it is also (B*H):
5.5*5.5=<u>30.25</u>
At this point, to solve for the total area, you just add the areas together:
13.75+30.25=<u>44</u>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For problem 10:
1. AE/ED=AC/CB (Since triangle ABC is similar to triangle ADE, we can determine that the ratio of AE to ED is equal to the ratio of AC to CB)
2. AE/ED=(AE+EC)/CB (Rewrite AC as the sum of the lengths forming it; This is sometimes referred to as the Partition Postulate)
3. 9/x=(9+6)/10 (Substitute the given values into this equation)
4. x=6 (Use algebra to solve for x)
For problem 11:
1. AG/AB=AE/AD (Use the same strategy as step one in problem 10, since the rectangles are similar we can create this equation)
2. AG/(AG+GB)=AE/(AE+ED) (Rewrite sides as the some of their parts)
3. 14/(14+7)=18/(18+x) (Substitute given values)
4. x=9 (Solve for x)
