38 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so the bottom part is a rectangle and the top part is a triangle. We’re gonna split those into two different shapes.

8 * 4 = 32, this is the area of the bottom rectangle.

To get the side length of the top triangle, we have to subtract 8 from 11.

11 - 8 = 3

(3 * 4)/2 = 6, this is the area of the top triangle.

Add the two areas, 32 + 6 = 38

And that’s it, maybe, I think.

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
