2(x+7) + x=20
(2)(x) + (2)(7) + x=20 Distribute
2x+14 + x =20
(2x+x) + (14) =20 Combine Like Terms
3x+14=20
- 14 -14 Subtract 14 from both sides
3x = 6
3x/3 6/3 Divide Both Sides by 3
x = 2

Answer:
<h2>
503 cm²</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of the figure is sum of areas of two triangles and three ractangles:

Answer:
1421/576
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum = - 13/8 + 5/12 = - 39/24 + 10/24 = - 29/24
Difference = - 13/8 - 5/12 = - 39/24 - 10/24 = - 49/24
Sum * Difference = (-29/24)*(-49/24) = 1421/576
If you'd graph this function, you'd see that it's positive on [-1.5,0], and that it's possible to inscribe 3 rectangles on the intervals [-1.5,-1), (-1,-0.5), (-0.5, 1].
The width of each rect. is 1/2.
The heights of the 3 inscribed rect. are {-2.25+6, -1+6, -.25+6} = {3.75,5,5.75}.
The areas of these 3 inscribed rect. are (1/2)*{3.75,5,5.75}, which come out to:
{1.875, 2.5, 2.875}
Add these three areas together; you sum will represent the approx. area under the given curve on the given interval: 1.875+2.5+2.875 = ?
