Examine the two-step equation. − 7 4 + x 4 = 2 which property of operations allows you to add the same constant term to both sides?

The addition property of equality tells us that adding the same number to each side of an equation gives us an equivalent equation

Step-by-step explanation:

if a−b=c,then a−b+b=c+b,or a=c+b

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
