$\text{Substitute the values of x and y to the equation}\\\\x=-2,\ y=6,\ 3ax+2by=6\\\\3a(-2)+2b(6)=6\\\\-6a+12b=6\qquad|\text{add 6a to both sides}\\\\12b=6a+6\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 12}\\\\b=\dfrac{6a}{12}+\dfrac{6}{12}\\\\\boxed{b=\dfrac{1}{2}a+\dfrac{1}{2}}$

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

A=174

Triangle - h=5, b=12. (The height was found by subtracting the length of the square (12) from the total length (17).

Step 3: Solve by using formulas

A=(5)(12)/2=30

A=12*12=144

Step 4: Add the parts together

144+30=174

A=174
