Mike is 29.

5+2x+x=41
5+3x=41
3x=36
x=12

5+2x=Mike’s Age
5+2(12)= Mike’s Age
29= Mike’s Age

They would have to drive 9 miles for the taxi to cost the same.

Hope this helped, this is the longest way to work it out but also the simplest.

Answer:

The area of the shaded figure is:

20 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the area of the shaded figure, first, you must calculate this as a rectangle, with the measurements: wide (4 units), and long (6 units):

Area of a rectangle = long * wide
Area of a rectangle = 6 * 4
Area of a rectangle = 24 units^2

How the figure isn't a rectangle, you must subtract the triangle on the top, so, now we calculate the area of that triangle with measurements: wide (4 units), and height (2 units):

Area of a triangle = $\frac{wide*height}{2}$
Area of a triangle = $\frac{4*2}{2}$
Area of a triangle = $\frac{8}{2}$
Area of a triangle = 4 units^2

In the end, you subtract the area of the triangle to the area of the rectangle, to obtain the area of the shaded figure:

Area of the shaded figure = Area of the rectangle - Area of the triangle
Area of the shaded figure = 24 units^2 - 4 units^2
Area of the shaded figure = 20 units^2

I use the name "units" because the exercise doesn't say if they are feet, inches, or another, but you can replace this in case you need it.
