When solving an equation, you must do the same thing to both sides or else it won't be equal

when dealing with one unknown (x) try to get the unknown on one side

2(x-3)=1.2-x
distribute or multiply 2 by x then -3

so (2 times x)+(2 times -3[remember negative times positive=negative])
2x-6=1.2-x
add 6 to both sides
2x=7.2-x
add x to both sides
3x=7.2
divide both sides by 3
x=2.4

2(x-3) = 1.2-x
2x-6 = 1.2-x
2x+x = 1.2+6
3x = 7.2
3x/3 = 7.2/3
x = 2.4

A small square of side 2x is cut from the corner of a rectangle with a width of 10 centimeters and length of 20 centimeters. Wri

Find the area of the rectangle. You can find the area of a rectangle with the following formula:

$A = wl$

w = width, and l = length.

Plug in your width and length:

$20 * 10 = 200$

The area of the rectangle is 200 square centimeters.

The area of a square is also given by width * length. Multiply the sides together:

$2x * 2x = 4x^{2}$

The area of a square is 4x^2.

Because you're cutting away the square from the rectangle, you will subtract the area of the square from the area of the rectangle. The following equation will be your answer:

$200 - 4x^{2} cm^{2}$
