Use the method of combining like terms to find the equivalent expression to 6u+2v+3u−7v−2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The like terms are 6u and 7u and also 2v and -7v so the answer is 9u - 5v - 2.

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
