Answer: x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

First, since both angles shown are equal to each other, you can immediately set your equation.

5x + 5 = 95

Next, move 5 to the opposite side of the equation to isolate your x value (5x). This step is simply subtracting the hanging 5.

5x + 5 (-5) = 95 (-5)

5x = 90

Finally, you need to divide both sides of the equation by 5 (the 5 next to the x) to *fully* isolate the x value.

5x / 5 = 90 / 5

x = 18

final answer: x = 18

Hopefully this helps with the remainder of your lesson! :)

The figure is made up of 2 rectangles and 2 right triangles. What is the area of the figure? 173 units2 253 units2 277 units2 32

Here, Area of a Triangle = 1/2 * b * h
A = 1/2 * 6 * 8
A = 1/2 * 48
A = 24

Area of two traingles = 2(24) = 48

Now, Area of a rectangle = 25 * 5 = 125

Now, Total area of the figure = 125 + 48 = 173 units2

In short, Your Answer would be Option A

Hope this helps!
