3x= 5 + 2(3 + 4x)
How to solve this?

x = -11/5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x = 5 + 2(3 + 4x)

~Distribute left side

3x = 5 + 6 + 8x

~Combine like terms on the left side

3x = 11 + 8x

~Subtract 8x to both sides

-5x = 11

~Divide -5 to both sides

x = -11/5

Best of Luck!

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

i dont know if you cant find a way its best to actually add all of them start from 105 tho
