well, is noteworthy that an x-intercept is when y = 0 or namely is a solution or root of the quadratic, so we know then that the x-intercepts or solutions are at (-1,0) and (3,0), that simply means that

Answer:
B: 72
Step-by-step explanation:
Split the shape into separate rectangles! It will make the problem much easier. You can split it so that you will have a 12 x 3 rectangle and a 6 x 6 rectangle because you subtract 3 from 9 and subtract 6 from 12.
12 x 3 = 36
6 x 6 = 36
36 + 36 = 72
