A 2-column table with 5 rows. Column 1 is labeled Days to Set Up with entries 1.5, 3, 4.5, x, 7.5. Column 2 is labeled Number of Concerts with entries 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Stage hands set up a new stage for a concert in the arena every 1.5 days.

Use proportional reasoning to find the value of x that completes the table showing this relationship.

i want to die

what the hell man, i just want the points lol

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

you can't solve x because it is 2 linear equation and you only have one equation

or

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:

⇒

⇒ ⇒

factorizing, we get that:

  ⇒

then, the solutions are: or
