Answer:
6.5 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
There are MANY ways to do this problem, most of them involving breaking it into 3 or four shapes. But this one is easier if you do most of it by taking out the squares and half squares.
Squares - 3
Half squares - 4 (totals 2 squares)
Triangle - 1 - 1/2bh = 1/2x1x3 = 1.5
TOTAL = 3+2+1.5=6.5
Answer:
area = 20x^2 - 10x - 30
Step-by-step explanation:
5(4x2 - 2x - 6)
area = 20x^2 - 10x - 30
Answer:
x = -8
y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 7y = 9
2x - 3y = -37
1.) First, multiply each side to match either y-values or x-values. (In this example, we'll use match x-values)
10x + 14y = 18 (multiplied by 2)
10x - 15y = -185 (multiplied by 5)
2.) Then, subtract the entirety of one equation to isolate the y-value.
10x + 14y = 18
-10x + 15y = 185
3.) Add and subtract values and divide to find y.
29y = 203
y = 7
4.) Plug-in y to solve for x into one equation, or repeat steps 1-3.
15x + 21y = 27
14x - 21y = -259
29x = -232
x = -8
1/2 + 4x = 5x - 5/6
1/2 = x - 5/6
3/6 = x - 5/6
x = 8/6
