Answer:
-2
Assumption:
Find the value of x such that
.
Step-by-step explanation:



Combine like terms:

This is not too bad too factor on the left hand side since 2(2)=4 and 2+2=4.


So we need to solve:

Subtract 2 on both sides:

Let's check:






0 was the desired output of
.
Rectangle = 9*5=45
Triangle= 1/2 * 10 * 3 = 15
Add the two shapes: 45+15 = 60 sq units
Unless unusually unusual unification under
Brandon is not correct because he should have added 6 negative unit tiles to isolate the variable in step 2—— the answer would have been x=-1
