HELP SOMEONE PLEASE! SO CONFUSED

The area is 24 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Things you need to use in this exercise:

Area of a circle = pi*r^2

r is the radius, equal to half the diameter.

Ok, in the image we can see 3 half-circles.

one has a diameter of 8 units: with area A (the left one)

other has a diameter of 6 units: with area B (the bottom one)

and the other has a diameter equal to the hypotenuse of the right triangle: with area C (the white semicircle that also includes the right triangle)

Now, you can think the shaded area as:

The sum of the areas of the half circles A and B, minus the area of the half-circle C, plus the area of the right triangle (because the white triangle is also included in the white semicircle)

So the area is:

A + B - C + area triangle

A = pi*(8/2)^2 = 3.14*4^2 = 50.24

B = pi*(6/2)^2 = 3.14*3^2 = 28.26

the area of the triangle is equal to:

T = 6*8/2 = 24

Now, to obtain the area of the white semicircle ( C) we need the hypotenuse of the triangle, so here we can use the Pythagorean's theorem:

H^2 = 8^2 +6^2

H = √(8^2 + 6^2) = 10

Then:

C = pi*(10/2)^2 = 3.14*5^2 = 78.5

Then the shaded area is:

Area = 50.24 + 28.26 + 24 - 78.5 = 24

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.

step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 7 = 7

subtract 7 from both sides.

-2x = 0

divide both sides by -2.

x = 0
