Please help I suck at math and I am so stressed with this question that I am literally on the verge of crying

608 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the 3 rectangles.

Rectangle 1 = 10 x 16 = 160

Rectangle 2 = 16 x 12 = 192

Rectangle 3 = 16 x 10 = 160

Now find the area of the triangle using the formula:

x Base x height

= x 8 x 12 = 48

Both the triangles are similar, so you don't have to calculate again.

Finally add all the areas to get the surface area.

160 + 192 + 160 + 48 + 48 = 608 cm²

x= -3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify brackets

4 - x - 1 = 6

step 2: simpilfy

3 - x = 6

step 3: subtract 3 from both sides

-x = 6 - 3

step 4: simpilfy 6 - 3

-x = 3

step 5: multiply both sides by -1

x = -3
