1 answer:

4 0

- 9x - 12 = 8 - 4x
- 9x - 12 (+ 12) = 8 (+ 12) - 4x
- 9x = 20 - 4x
- 9x (+ 4x) = 20 - 4x (+ 4x)
- 5x = 20
- 5x (/ - 5) = 20 (/ - 5)
x = - 4

I hope this helps :)

I need help with this!!!

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

D. y = -2x + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a parallel line is the opposite reciprocal of the given slope so it'd be -2.

I think the formula is called point slope form? y-y1=m(x-x1).

y - 4 = -2 ( x- 6 )

y = -2x + 12 + 4

y = -2x + 16

What is the area of this figure? 49.5 in² 66.5 in² 84 in² 91 in²

zubka84 [21]

The given figure can be divided in two parts 1) Square with side 7 in 2) A right triangle with base 12 in and height 7 in.

1) Area of square = $side^{2}$

Side of the square is 7 in.

Area = $7^{2} =49in^{2}$

2) Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2} .base . height$

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2} (12)(7) =42in^{2}$

Area of polygon= Area of square+ Area of triangle

Area of polygon = 49+42 =91 square in.

Area = $91in^{2}$
