Hi! This is a difficult problem because I'm not too familiar with exponential functions but I think that 4^x is an exponential function and 2 multiplied by it means that it's multiplying by an exponential function. Does it make the whole rule exponential? I'm not sure but I don't think it does.
Answer:
She goes from 4 to -4 west which is 8 blocks west
Then she goes south from +2 to -2 on the y axis which is 4 blocks south
Area of box : 18*18, which is 324
area of larger triangle : 18*16/2 which is 144
area of larger triangle : 8*16/2 which is 64
add them all to get 532
<span>8d – 4d – 6d – 8 = 2d
</span><span>8d – 4d – 6d – 2d = 8
-4d = 8
d = -2</span>
