Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x = 7 is a solution, substitute x = 7 into the equation and solve for a

4(7) - 2(7 + a) = 8 , that is

28 - 2(7 + a) = 8 ( subtract 28 from both sides )

- 2(7 + a) = - 20 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

7 + a = 10 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

a = 3

Answer:

$\boxed{90}\,\text{units$^2$}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides AB and CD are parallel to the x-axis and 5 units apart. The length of side AB is 6-(-12) = 18 units. The area is the product of these dimensions:

Area = (Base)(Height) = (18 units)(5 units) = 90 units²
