General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define expression

3(4x + 1)

Step 2: Expand

Steps:

3(4x+1)

=(3)(4x+1)

=(3)(4x)+(3)(1)

=12x+3

Description:

The first step is to simplify the equation step by step and to simplify an equation you can first multiplying the factors and use the exponent rules to remove the parentheses. After that you need to combine it a terms. Then you will get your answer.

Since this was a small equation. It was easy to simplify, Steps are above. After that your answer will end up as =12x+3.

=12x+3

Hope this helps.

there are lots of ways.   pick's theorem tells us if the vertices are lattice points the area a is

a = b/2 + i - 1

where b is the number of boundary lattice points and i is the number of interior lattice points.

in the figure i count b=16, i=50 so

a = 8 + 50 - 1 = 57

let's try the shoelace formula.   the area is half the sum of the cross products of the sides.  

a(-2,6)   -2(2)-6(-5) = 26

b(-5,2)   -5(-3) - 2(-2) = 19

c(-2,-3) -2(-3) - (-3)(4) = 18

d(4,-3)   4(3) - (-3)(5) = 27

e(5,3)   5(3) - 3(1) = 12

f(1,3)     1(6) - 3(-2) = 12

a(-2,6)

each of the cross products is twice the area of the triangle with the associated side and one vertex the origin. so the area of abo=26/2=13.

area = (1/2) (26 + 19 +   18 + 27 + 12 + 12) = 57

that checks!
