Hi! Your answer is q = -9
Please see an explanation for a better and clear understanding to your problem.
Any questions about my answer and explanation can be asked through comments! :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we want to solve for q-term. That means we are going to isolate q-term.
We can add 4 and 9 together.
Because we want to know the value of q. That means we have to isolate q-term by subtracting both sides by 13.
We are reaching to the final step where we divide the whole equation by 3.
Finally, the solution for this equation is q = -9. But what if you are not certain or sure about the answer? Let's check it out!
To check the answer, simply substitute q = -9 in the equation.
Notice that the equation is true for q = -9. Hence, we can conclude that the solution for this equation is q = -9.
Hope this helps!
To find the total area of this figure, it would be easiest to find the area of the left part (rectangle) and then find the area of the right part (triangle), and then add the two area values together.
First, we will find the area of the rectangle, using the formula A = lw, where l is the length of the rectangle and w is the width of the rectangle.
The length of the rectangle is 13 cm and the width is 9 cm. If we substitute in these values into our equation, we get:
A = (13cm)(9cm)
A= 117 cm^2
Next, let’s find the area of the triangle, using the formula A=(1/2)bh, where b is the base of the triangle and h is the height.
The base of the triangle is 11 cm and the height of the triangle is 5 cm (found by subtracting 13-8 as seen in the figure). If we substitute in these values and simplify, we get:
A=1/2(11cm)(5cm)
A=1/2(55cm^2)
A=27.5 cm^2.
When we add together the area of the rectangle with the area of the triangle, we will get the total area of the figure.
117 cm^2 + 27.5 cm^2 = 144.5 cm^2
Your answer is 144.5 cm^2 or the first option.
Hope this helps!
