Answer: A
You’re basically adding m - 2 nine times
So it’s 9m - 18
Or 9m - 9(2)
The pattern is *2 +3 *2 +3 *2 +3 .... 1 *2 = 2 , 2+3 = 5 , 5 *2 = 10, 10 +3 = 13, 13*2 = ?...
Here here here here here here here
Let's assume
x represent the number of trips that the larger truck makes
so, we are given
If the smaller truck makes 18 more trips than the larger
so,
number of trips for larger truck =x
number of trips for smaller truck =x+18
The capacities of two trucks are 3 tons and 4 tons respectively
so, capacity of smaller truck per trip =3 tons / trip
total ton carried by smaller truck = (number of trips for smaller truck)*(capacity of smaller truck per trip)
now, we can plug values
total ton carried by smaller truck =3*(x+18)
total ton carried by larger truck = (number of trips for larger truck)*(capacity of larger truck per trip)
total ton carried by larger truck =4x
it can deliver 12 more tons of freight than the larger
so, we get

we can move 4x on left side
we get

The area of the rectangle is
units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The area of a rectangle is obtained by multiplying the length with the width of the rectangle.
Considering this a whole rectangle, the length of the rectangle is 5 units and the width is the sum of
,
, and -6.
So the length of the rectangle = 5 units and
the width of the rectangle
units.
The area of a rectangle = (length)(width).
Step 2:
By substituting the known values, we get
The area of the rectangle 
So the area of the rectangle is
units.
