Answer: 235 cm^2
Explanation: you can cut the shape into two smaller ones and then solve for each smaller shapes area. to find out the length of the top piece with 11 as length you can subtract nine from fourteen. from their you calculate the area of the top shape (11x5=55) and then the bottom shape (9x20=180). from their just add the two areas to get 235.
The average speed would be 53 miles per hour, hope this helped, if you need me to explain then here is the way, so all you do is divide 265 by 5 and what I did to help make it faster was split 265 into 250 and 15 so 250 divided by 5 is 50 and 15 divided by 5 is 3 so 50 + 3 = 53!
Let
x------> the number of multiple choice question
y------> the number of free response question
we know that
-----> equation A
-----> equation B
Substitute equation B in equation A
![3[15-y]+8y=55](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%5B15-y%5D%2B8y%3D55)
Find the value of x
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the number of multiple choice question are 
the number of free response question are 
X={6,-10} that is the answer
Step 1: multiple the second equation by 2 so that you get -1/4 for the coefficient of y, the same as in equation 1
equation 2 multiply by 2: 1/4 x - 1/4 y=38 ..........name this equation 3
subtract equation 1 from equation 3: (1/4 x -1/2 x)=38-10
-1/4 x = 28
x=-112
plug in x=-112 in any of the equation, you will get y=-264
so the answer is A
