Hey there!
This is a pretty long equation, but don't let it confuse you- it's full of like terms.
Let's clean up the right side by adding the 4x and the 2x:

6x+2=3x-7

We can subtract 3x from both sides:

3x + 2 = -7

Subtract two to both sides to get:

3x = -9

Finally, divide both sides by 3 to get:

x = -3

Hopefully this helps!

First, you should add your like-terms on the left side.
6x+2=3x-7
Then subtract 3x from 6x to get rid of the x on the right side.
3x+2=-7
After that, subtract two from -7.
3x=-9
Divide -9 by 3.
x=-3.

Calculate the area of the square shown below (HARD)

Check the picture below.

recall that in a square, all sides are equal, so if we make b = a, then we get that for one side, also recall that the area of a rectangle is length*width, so in this case,

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{area of the square}}{\stackrel{length}{5\sqrt{2}}\cdot \stackrel{width}{5\sqrt{2}}}\implies 25(\sqrt{2})^2\implies 25\cdot 2\implies 50$
