Answer:
14 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
If you graph the points your triangle's height will be 4, and base would be 7.
<em>A = 1/2bh 4</em> x 7 = 28, 28 x 1/2 = 14.
Hope this helps :D
We substitute the given into the equation
given: a=-1, b=2, c=

=(

-1
=

-1
=

-1
=

-1
to continue, we can either find a common denominator or change the fraction to decimal.
Fraction to Decimal:

=-2.5
Equation=-2.5-1=-3.5
OR Common Denominator:
=


×

(denominator should be -2=common)
=

+

=

which also = to -3.5
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>
The complete exercise is: "A rectangular yard is 20 ft by 15 ft. The yard is cover with grass except for 8.5 feet square flower garden. How much grass is in the yard?"</h3><h3 />
The area of a rectangle can be calculated with the following formula:

Where "l" is the lenght of the rectangle and "w" is the width.
Based on the data given in the exercise, you can identify tha the length and the width of the rectangular yard are:

Then, you can substitute these values into the formula and then evaluate in order to find the area of the entire yard:

The area of the flower garden which is an square, can be calculated with this formula:

Where "s" is the side length.
In this case you know that:

Then the area of the flower garden is:

<em> </em>Since this is not covered with grass, you need to subtract both areas calculated above in order to find the surface covered with grass in the yard.
This is:
