You need to find the area of one of those bigger triangles, and one of those smaller triangles. Then multiply each area by 6 (because there are 6 sides of the big triangles, and the 6 small triangles make up the other side) and add them together. The area of a triangle is 1/2 times base times height equals area.... Equation: 1/2 (b * h) = A
If you list the answer choices, I might be able to help you better.
Area = Length * Width = l * w
l = x + 2
w = 2x - 5
Area = (x + 2)(2x - 5) = 56
Area = 2x^2 -x - 10 = 56
Area = 2x^2 - x - 66 = 0 Now you have to factor this thing.
Area = (2x + 11)( x - 6) = 0 This is more or less done by guessing.
2x + 11 = 0 can't work. x would be negative.
x - 6 = 0
x = 6.
Check
=====
l = x + 2
l = 6 + 2
l = 8
w = 2*x - 5
w = 2*6 - 5
w = 12 - 5
w = 7
l*w = 8*7 = 56. It checks.

Answer:
y = x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept is (0, 6). This is where the line crosses the y-axis.
The slope is 4/4, or 1: m = 1
The equation of the line is therefore y = x + 6
