break it up into simpler shapes. See the photo.
There is:
trapezoid
A = 0.5(3.2+6.5)4.5
= 21.825
triangle
A = 0.5(2.7)4.5
= 6.075
rectangle
A = 1.8(4.5)
= 8.1
Total Area = 21.825 + 6.075 + 8.1
= 36
That's simplied already, unless they want a decimal then it's .6 or something
1. Distributive Property.
<span>4(3a + 7) + 3(2a + 5)
12a + 28 + 6a + 20
2. Combine like terms
12a + 28 + 6a + 20
18a +48
The equivalent expression is 18a + 48. If a = anything then the expressions will still be equivalent.

Answer:
use the distributive property to distribute the 8
-16+16n+3n=40+5n
-16+19n=40+5n
-16=40+5n-19n
-16=40-14n
-14n+40= -16
-14n= -16-40
-14n= -56
n= -56/-14
n= 4
