That’s a trapezoid. To find the area of a trapezoid, you take the 2 bases (9ft and 14ft) and add them up (23ft). Then divide the sum of the 2 bases by 2 (23/2=11.5). Then you take that and multiply it by the height (7ft). So 11.5(7)=80.5ft^2.
Formula for area of trapezoid:
a+b/2•h
a=base 1. b=base 2. h=height

Help, with solving rational equations! I am no good at it :( Solve for x: 2 over 5 plus 3 over 5 x equals quantity x plus 5 over

If this is your equation: $\frac{2}{5} + \frac{3}{5x} = \frac{x+5}{10}$
Solution:
LCD for 5 and 5x is 5x
$\frac{x}{x} ( \frac{2}{5} )+ \frac{3}{5x} = \frac{x+5}{10}$
$\frac{2x}{5x} + \frac{3}{5x} = \frac{x+5}{10}$
$\frac{2x+3}{5x} = \frac{x+5}{10}$
$10(2x+3)=5x(x+5)$ ←cross product
20x + 30 = 5x² + 25x ←simplify with distributive property
0 = 5x² + 5x - 30 ←use inverse operations to collect all terms on one side
0 = x² + x - 6 ←if possible divide by numerical GCF (This case 5)
0 = (x + 3)(x - 2) ←Factor
x = -3 or x = 2
Please check by substitution in original equation... Both work
