First, the rectangle:

We have the measurements of a length of 4, and width of 2. The area of a rectangle is Length times Width, therefore:
4x2=8 ft squared for the rectangle.

Now the Triangle:
We see that the whole left side is 4ft, and that the rectangle's width is 2ft; therefore, the left side of the triangle is 2 ft (4-2).
The area of a triangle is 1/2Base times Height. The base is 4, and the height is 2; therefore:
1/2x4x2=4 ft squared.

Now we add our areas for the total:

4+8=12 ft squared

I hope this Helps!

Answer:

B -1/5

you have to follow pemdas first get rid of the parethase which leaves you with 2+3x+6x=-4x+8x+1 then you add what you can do then you get 2+9x=4x+1 then you subtract 2 from both sides and subtract 4x from both sides which leaves you with 5x=-1 then you divide 5 from both sides and get x=-1/5

The equation 6y = 30 - 8x has solutions of (b, 1) and (a, b). What are the values of a and b?

The values of $a$ and $b$ are $a = \frac{3}{2}$ and $b = 3$ , respectively.
