Since if he gets the driveway done in 20 minutes he gets 1/20th of the driveway done in 1 minute (if x=20 then x/20=1 by dividing both sides by 20) and if his brother gets 1/12th of the driveway done in one minute, then if t represents the time it takes to shovel the driveway, t/20+t/12=1 driveway shoveled as 1/20+1/12=amount they can do in 1 minute, so t/20+t/12 is how much they can do in t minutes. Multiplying both sides by 20*12=240, we get 12t+20t=32t=240. Dividing both sides by 32, we get 240/32=7.5 minutes to shovel the driveway.

If you think about it, an octagon is made up of 8 triangles. So you first find the area of one triangle then multiply it by 8 for the total area:
A=1/2bh
A=1/2(9.9)(12)
A=59.4

59.4 x 8= 475.2

Therefore the total area for the octagon should be 475.2 units^2

Hope this helps !
