What is the area in square units ?

What is the equation?

84 square units

Equation: (8 x 3) + (5 x 12) = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we split one rectangle from the other. We will split the part where it says 8 x 3.

8 x 3 = 24

(24 is the first rectangle.)

Next we have the larger rectangle at the bottom.

We do 8 - 3 first because we cut off the top part.

8 - 3 = 5

Now we know the bottom rectangle measures: 5 x 12

5 x 12 = 60

Now we add both of the squares areas together:

24 + 60 = 84

if im undersanding the question correctly, its organized from 10
