This question is nasty. It sounds like you should be finding area of the figure you see. I'll do that first, although I don't think it's the right answer. (But it might be).
Area Trapezoid = (b1 + b2) * h / 2
b1 = 8
b2 = 12
h = 5
Area Trapezoid = (8 + 12 ) * 5 / 2
Area Trapezoid = 20 * 5/2
Area = 50 square feet.
The problem is that no lumber yard will cut that for you without charging you. The practical answer is 12 * 5 = 60 square feet is what you will have to buy. Then you cut out the triangles for yourself.

Step-by-step explanation:
In seven days they washed a total of 638.85 pounds of laundry. This means each day they washed about 91.26 pounds of laundry.
First of all, the first power of 'x' is the highest power in the whole equation,
so we only expect one solution.
You said that <span><u>3x+9 = 21+7x </u>
Subtract 3x from each side:
9 = 21 + 4x
Subtract 21 from each side:
-12 = 4x
Divide each side by 4 :
<u>-3 = x </u>
</span>
