Jazakallah Khair :) But y r we using similar triangles? cant we subtract the area of two triangles from 96(area of whole figure)? And they also mentioned that we can solve this but using equation of line. How is this possible?

Yaar the thing about these type of questions where they ask you to show that Area is equal to something, sometimes they mention themselves otherwise it should be understood to create an equation in terms of x or y(according to the shown equation). Here, the only way you could possibly do it was through similar triangles. The total area no doubt is 96, but it'll complicate your working and you'll be lost just for 3 marks! Cool? Let me see the mark scheme for the line of eq part..will get back to u then.
