$132 + n you have to add the variable to the number
The answer is A. 12
do you want to know how I got my answer...
Remark
This is quite a nice little problem. It takes a minute or three to figure out the answer, and when you do, you will be certain that you have been tricked. It is a little like the egg of Columbus.
Solution
The Base of Triangle ABN is AB
The Base of Triangle CDM is CD
The height of both given triangles is h. That is the distance between the two parallel lines.
Area ABN = 1/2*AB * h = 23 cm^2
Area CDM = 1/2*CD * h = 18 cm^2
Now the Area of the trapezoid is
Area_Trapezoid = 1/2 * h (AB + CD) Using the distributive property Remove the brackets.
Area_Trapezoid = 1/2*AB*h + 1/2*CD*h Did you notice something? Those terms are just the area of the triangles (written above.)
Area Trapezoid = 23 + 18 = 41 cm^2 <<<< Answer
We can see the sequence goes by decreasing 9 on each number
so the numbers are
2, -7, -16, -25, -34, -43, -52, -61, -70
so adding all these numbers we get
2-7-16-25-34-43-52-61-70
= -306
hope this helped
Answer:
-50x
Step-by-step explanation:
-6x times 9 which is -54x
-54x-3x = -57x
-54x+7
