Х
5x + 2
x +7
3x - 1
2

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating the area of the outer rectangle:

Given

Thus,

The area of the outer rectangle:

Calculating the area of the inner rectangle:

Given

Thus,

The area of the outer rectangle:

A = wl

   = x(x+7)

   = x² + 7

Calculating the area of the shaded region:

As

The area of the outer rectangle = 15x² + x - 2

The area of the inner rectangle = x² + 7

Thus,

shaded region Area = Outer Rectangle Area - Inner Rectangle Area

                                  = 15x² + x - 2 - (x² + 7)

                                   =  15x² + x - 2 - x² - 7

                                   = 14x² + x - 9

Therefore, the Area of the shaded region is: 14x² + x - 9

a; x = 0.5

step-by-step explanation:

-10x = -5

x = 0.5

probably the last option
