Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute 3 for b
23 - 4(3)

23 - 12
Subtract
23 - 12 = 11
Notice that we can calculate the area of the square and the rectangle separately to get the following:

therefore, the total area is 27 in^2
Your question is a bit unclear, but if you mean which lines are parallel to this one then I have an answer.
1/2*4=2 so this line would be y=2 which means it is a horizontal line. Therefore, any other horizontal line would be parallel to it. So just pick a value for Y to equal and that will be your answer.
ie. y=7
Divide 10 by 2 than separate both groups into 5 sections in each activity
