The answer is a, this is because 5(2+4) is the same as multiplying 5 by 6 to get 30. The reason we do this is because the length of the entire side is the sum of the bottom numbers
So your equation is

. You need to simplify this answer.
So first off, do 2x times 2x.
2 x 2 = 4.
Your equation is now

You're already off to a great start, so now let's add 4x + 7x. It is 11x.
Your equation is almost done! It's

right now.
Divide both sides by 11, and your answer is...
0.36363636 and so on, or you can round to the nearest hundreth, in which it will be
0.36.
I hope I helped!
Solve:
Do the parenthesis first, so 4*9=36
Now multiply it by 1.
1*36=36
Final answer: 36
-6,-5,0,5,6 that is the order from least to greatest
