Answer:
x=36
I hope this is correct and I hope that it helps
The right fraction represents the percentage; 42 over 100 (100 is the total), or 0.42.
The left fraction is the part number over the whole number. The whole number is unknown, so we use 'x'.
Your answer is 75.
The enclosed shape is that of a trapezoid. The area of a trapezoid is the product of the height of it (measured perpendicular to the parallel bases) and the average length of the two parallel bases. The formula is generally written ...
... A = (1/2)(b₁ + b₂)·h
Here, the base lengths are the y-coordinates at x=4 and x=9. The height is the distance between those two x-coordinates: 9 - 4 = 5.
You are expected to find the y-values at those two points, then use the formula for the area of the trapezoid.
You can save a little work if you realize that the average of the two base lengths is the y-coordinate corresponding to the average x-coordinate: (9+4)/2 = 6.5. That is you only need to find the y-coordinate for x=6.5 and do the area math as though you had a rectangle of that height and width 5.
Going that route, we have
... y = 2(6.5) - 1 = 13 - 1 = 12
Then the trapezoid's area is
... A = 12·5 = 60 . . . . square units.
You got the dot on the right spot, the coordinates are (1.5,2.5) because you reflected across the x axis so the y coordinate changed. The distance between them are 5, because you move half of a unit two times which equals 1 whole unit and 4 whole units. 4+1=5
