Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
30 + 4x + 2 = 8 + 6x
Reorder the terms:
30 + 2 + 4x = 8 + 6x
Combine like terms: 30 + 2 = 32
32 + 4x = 8 + 6x
Solving
32 + 4x = 8 + 6x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.
32 + 4x + -6x = 8 + 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 4x + -6x = -2x
32 + -2x = 8 + 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0
32 + -2x = 8 + 0
32 + -2x = 8
Add '-32' to each side of the equation.
32 + -32 + -2x = 8 + -32
Combine like terms: 32 + -32 = 0
0 + -2x = 8 + -32
-2x = 8 + -32
Combine like terms: 8 + -32 = -24
-2x = -24
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 12
Simplifying
x = 12
Answer:
Is shaded 5/8 of the area of the rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
The area of triangle ABC represent 1/4 of the total area
The area of triangle CDE represent 1/8 of the total area
The shaded region is composed by one triangle equal to triangle ABC and three triangles equal to triangle CDE
so
The area of the shaded region is equal to

therefore
Is shaded 5/8 of the area of the rectangle
