4(x + 7) = 38
Since there is no operation sign between the 4 and parenthesis, it makes it an automatic multiplication problem.
You would use distributive property to multiply each which should leave your equation looking like this afterwards:
4x + 28 = 38
(4 times x and 4 times 7)
You would then solve it like a two step equation,
1. +28 - 28 = 0
2. 38 - 28 = 10
4x = 10
10 divided by 4 = 2.5
x = 2.5
We can recheck our work by substituting in the value of x.
4(2.5 + 7) = 38
10 + 28 = 38
When we substituted in the value, it gave us the correct inequality.
Therefore,
x = 2.5
Okay, so as you may know the inside angles of a triangle always add up to 180! so you must first find x, so that means add up all equations to find x. your answer is 41
2 rectangle shaped
1) Length = 160 mi ; Width = 40 mi
2) Length = 440 mi - 160 mi ; Width = 240 mi - 70 mi
1 triangle shape
1) base = 70 mi ; height = 440 mi - 160 mi
Area Rectangle 1 = 160 mi * 40 mi = 6,400 mi²
Area Rectangle 2 = 280 mi * 170 mi = 47,600 mi²
Area Triangle 1 = ((440 mi - 160 mi) * 70mi)/2 = (280mi * 70mi)/2 = 9,800 mi²
Total Area = 6,400 mi² + 47,600 mi² + 9,800 mi² = <span>63,800 mi²</span>
Answer:
67.5 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
We can break this problem down in two parts: The upper triangle and the lower trapezoid.
The upper triangle:
Use the formula
to compute the area of the triangle. Base = 10 and Height = 7.
1/2 (10)(7)
1/2 (70)
=35 units².
The lower trapezoid:
Use the formula
to compute the area of the trapezoid. Base 1 = 10, Base 2 = 3 and Height = 5.
1/2 (10 + 3)(5)
1/2 (13)(5)
1/2 (65)
=32.5 units²
So, add the two areas of each shape:
35 + 32.5 = 67.5 units².
