Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 1/2 + x = 5 1/3 Change the mixed numbers to improper fractions
5/2 + x = 16/3 The lowest common multiple is 6. Multiply by 6
5*3 + 6x = 16*2
15 + 6x = 32 Subtract 15 from both sides.
6x = 32 - 15
6x = 17 Divide by 6
6x/6 = 17/6
x = 2 5/6
Check
5/2 + 17/6 = 16/3
15/6 + 17/6 = 32/6
32/6 = 32/6 The question checks.
The answer seems to be 108
Area of trapezoid = a + b/2 * h
a = 20, b = 9, h = 21/-16
20+9/2 * (21-16) = 29/2 * 5 = 72.5
The area of the trapezoid = 72.5 in^2
Area of the rectangle = l * w
l = 16, w = 20
16 * 20 = 320
The area of the rectangle: 320 in^2

By the quadratic formula,

Then


Multiply numerator and denominator by the denominator's conjugate:
