Answer: x=5/3

Step-by-step explanation: -2x = x - 5

Subtract x from both sides.

−2x−x=−5

Simplify −2x−x to −3x−3x.

−3x=−5

Divide both sides by −3.

x=-5/-3

Two negatives make a positive.

x=5/3

In decimal form the answer is 1.666667

Hope this helps, also, have a blessed day!

A kitchen measures 3.75 meters by 4.2 meters.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

a. $A_{(kitchen)}=15.75\ m^2$

b. $A_{(total)}=39.375\ m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the area of a rectangle is:

$A=lw$

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width

a. We know that the kitchen measures 3.75 meters by 4.2 meters; then we can say that:

$l=3.75\ m\\\\w=4.2\ m$

Therefore, substituting these values into the formula, we get that the area of the kitchen is:

$A_{(kitchen)}=(3.75\ m)(4.2\ m)=15.75\ m^2$

b. The area of the living room is one and a half times (1.5 times) that of the kitchen, this is:

$A_{(living)}=(1.5)(15.75\ m)=23.625\ m^2$

Therefore, the total of the living room and the kitchen is:

$A_{(total)}=15.75\ m^2+23.625\ m^2=39.375\ m^2$
