I need help please its an emergency!!

answer:

48 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

First find area of entire rectangle using A = LW

So A = (12)(5)

        = 60

Next find area of smaller rectangle by using the same formula

A = (2)(3)

   = 6

Now find the area of the right triangle by using the formula a = hb / 2

In order to find out what the base is we do 6 +2 and subtract it from 12

6+2=8  12-8=4  

So A =(4)(3) / 2

        =12 / 2

        = 6

Now we subtract the area of the smaller shapes by the total area

60 - 6 - 6 = 48

Our answer is 48 ft².

do you mean add both of the equations together

because if you do the answer is 10x-5
