x = 30
The distributive property says that we need to multiply what's in the brackets by 1/2 (so 1/2*x and 1/2*6) to get the equation 1/2x + 3 = 18.
Then we need to subtract our constant, 3, from boths sides to get 1/2x = 15.
Multiply both sides by two to isolate x and you get x = 30.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Area of gray region = 
Step-by-step explanation:
The area covered by the furniture can be subtracted from the total area of the room to calculate the area of the gray region.

Area of gray region = 
We can re-group them to add more easily.
300 + 400 = 700
42 + 16 = 58
700+58 = 758
Answer: 758
The answer is x = -2 you move the all x to one side and all numbers to the other side. then divide to find x
