Answer:
2x+12=24
first you subtract 12 from both sides
2x+12=24
-12. -12
The 12-12 should cancel itself, the rest of the equation you bring down to get
2x=12 (because 24-12=12)
Now you have 2x=12.
you then divide 2x by both sides.
2x=12
/2x=/2x
The 2x/2x cancels itself out so you then solve for 12/2x.
For this you just divide 12/2 which is 6!
x= 6 is your final answer.
to check this equation you can plug your number back into x to see if it is true! 2(6)+12=24.
6 times 2 is 12 and 12+12 is 24 so your answer (6) is true!
hope this helps! :D

There are three parts to this figure: a rectangle and two triangles that are congruent.
We'll add together the area for each to get the total area.
We'll start by finding the area of the rectangle. We don't know its length, so we need to find the bases of the triangles and add them together.
We know that
. Substitute and solve for
:

Now, double this to get the total length of the rectangle, which is
inches.
The area of the rectangle is equal to its length times its height:

Now, we'll find the area of one of the triangles and double it since they're congruent.
The area of a triangle is one-half of its base times its height, which we then double.

The
and the
cancel each other out.

Substitute and solve:

Finally, add the rectangle's area to the two triangles' area.
