Answer:
The area of the shape (trapezoid) is 55 square feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to get the area of a trapezoid is 
. b1 is one of the bases, b2 is the other and h is the height.
First, you need to find the average of the bases:
(15+7=22)/2=11
Then, you multiply that by the height.
11*5=55
Lastly, you add the units.
55 square feet is the answer
-7x - 2y = -13
-7x + 7x - 2y = 7x - 13
-2y = 7x - 13
-2 -2
y = -3.5x + 6.5
x - 2y = 11
x - 2(-3.5x + 6.5) = 11
x - 2(-3.5x) - 2(6.5) = 11
x + 7x - 13 = 11
8x - 13 = 11
+ 13 + 13
8x = 24
8 8
x = 3
y = -3.5x + 6.5
y = -3.5(3) + 6.5
y = -10.5 + 6.5
y = -4
(x, y) = (3, -4)
Use substitution and substitute y into the other equation. One of the equations already gives you y in terms of x, so use that and substitute it into the other equation. y = 3x - 4
Plug into the other equation: -3y = -9x + 12
-3(3x-4) = -9x + 12
-9x + 12 = -9x + 12
This is an identity. So that means that any value of x makes this equation true. So B.
The answer is ....1.237149 x 10^18
Just plug x in and you'll get each y value.
So the answer is A.
