See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

8(3x-2)=2(8)+16

We clear the brackets

24x - 16 = 16 + 16

24x - 16 = 32

We add 16 to both sides

24x - 16 + 16= 32 + 16

24x = 48

We divide both sides by 24

24x/24 = 48/24

x =2

your answer is 228

step-by-step explanation:

add the top and bottom bases together, then divide them by 2, then multiply by the height.
