Hey!
so first distribute the 5 to x + 4
5x+20 = 2x + 20 + 2x
combine 2x and 2x
5x+20 = 4x + 20
Now you want the constant and variable on different sides so subtract 4x to the other side
5x - 4x + 20 = 20
1x + 20 = 20
now subtract the 20 on the 1x + 20 side to the other side
1x = 0
divide by 1
0 divided by anything is 0
So x = 0
Hope this helps!
Break it down into a rectangle and triangle.
Area of rectangle is lw
One side of the rectangle is 8 (MA)
The other side is 6
Area is 8x6 = 48
Area of a triangle is 1/2 bh
h is 8
b is 10(AZ) - 6 (ME) = 4
Area of triangle is 1/2 (4 x 8) = 12
Add 48 and 12 to get 60
The area is 60
It’swould be the second one
