I tried, but I'm not good at solving equations visually. I even tried drawing it. It looks a bit like a triangle, but there's no pointy tip, so it couldn't be that. May I receive further advice?

Wait I think I understand it now. Would it be a rectangle?

Think of slicing it down the middle and having both sides fall to the ground. You are correct it is a rectangle : )
