Solve for x Evan is making a table that will be created in the shape of the figure below. The table top is a triangle attached to a rectangle. To purchase the right amount of paint, he needs to know the area of the table top. He can only spend $10 on paint, which is enough to cover 150 ft2 of surface area. What is the maximum length of the base of the rectangle he can build?
(Compound shape made up of a rectangle and a triangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled x and the width is labeled 6 feet. The base of the triangle is labeled 4 feet and the height is labeled 6 feet.)

Total area can be at the most 150. The total Area = Area of Rectangle + Area of Triangle 150 = 6*x + (0.5)*4*6
solve for the unknown length x
23?

(150 - 12) / 6 = x
