Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

To turn the word problem into an equation, when we read:

"I am thinking of a number" we write "x"

"when I double my number" we write "2x"

"and then subtract the result from 5" we write "5 - 2x"

"I get negative one" we write "-1 = 5 - 2x"

Now we solve for the number, which is x.

<em>Equation: </em>-1 = 5 - 2x

-1 = 5 - 2x

subtract 5 from both sides

-6 = -2x

divide both sides by -2

3 = x

<h3>There we go! The number is </h3><h2>3</h2>

Find an expression for the area enclosed by quadrilateral ABCD below.
Helga [31]
  • ∆ABD is right angled hence area:-

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{1}{2}bh

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{1}{2}(4x)(3x)

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{1}{2}(12x^2)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 6x^2

There is only one option containing 6x^2 i.e Option D.

Hence without calculating further

Option D is correct
