Answer:

The equation is: x + 20 = 44

The area of the rectangle is 24 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total area of the shape is 44 square inches.

The area of the triangle is 20 square inches.

We need to find the area of the rectangle.

Total area = Area of the triangle + Area of the rectangle.

Let "x" be the area of the rectangle.

So the equation is

44 = 20 + x

This can be written as x + 20 = 44

Now let's find the value fo x.

Subtract 20 from both sides, we get

x + 20 - 20 = 44 - 20

x = 24 square inches.

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 24 inches.
