1/2(x - 3) = 2/3(x - 8)

<em><u>Distributive property on both sides.</u></em>

0.5x - 1.5 = 0.7x -5.3

<em><u>Add 5.3 to both sides.</u></em>

0.5x + 3.8 = 0.7x

<em><u>Subtract 0.5x from both sides.</u></em>

3.8 = 0.2x

<em><u>Multiply both sides by 5.</u></em>

x = 19 (This is your answer.)

The figure below is made up of two rectangles.
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Total area of figure = [3x² + 7x + 6] feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

By dividing both rectangle by vertical line;

Given:

Length of big rectangle = (x + 3) feet

Width of big rectangle = (x + 2) feet

Length of small rectangle = 2x feet

Width of small rectangle = (x + 1) feet

Find:

Total area of figure

Computation:

Area of rectangle = Length x width

Total area of figure = Area of big rectangle + Area of small rectangle

Total area of figure = [(x + 3)(x + 2)] + [(2x)(x + 1)]

Total area of figure = [x²+ 2x + 3x + 6] + [2x² + 2x]

Total area of figure = [3x² + 7x + 6] feet²
