If y = 8 cm, what is the area of the blue section of this shape?

56 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

First things first: Cop one triangle off the rectangle, and attach it to the other one, so the shape looks like a L

Now I can actually solve this:

The left side is 8 cm (because y = 8 cm)

The top is 10 cm

The middle is 6 cm

The inside left is 3 cm

And the very bottom is 2 cm

First, we'll solve for the newly constructed rectangle: 3 x 2. That equals 6.

Next, solve for the longer rectangle: 10 x 5. That's 50.

Now, add the two areas, and we get 56. So the area of the whole thing is 56 cm squared.

(Please keep in mind that I could be wrong, so double check it for me, thanks!)

option 3 . (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

step-by-step explanation:

option 1 :

(4x + 3) + (-9x + 4)

or 4x+3 -9x + 4

or -5x + 7

option 2

(x - 2) - (6x - 9)

or x-2-6x + 9

or -5x + 7

option 3

(5x+ + 6)

or 5x + 1 + 10x -6

or 15x -5

option 4

-4x+2x+7-3x

-7x + 2x + 7

-5x + 7

hence only option 3 did   not satisfy the given simplify expression.
