15 cm^2
A= 5*6/2= 30/2= 15 cm^2
3( 1/2 - y) = 3/5 + 15y
Applying distributive property:
3*1/2 - 3y = 3/5 + 15y
3/2 - 3y = 3/5 + 15y
3/5 is adding on the right, then it will subtract on the left
3y is adding on the left, then it will subtract on the right
3/2 - 3/5 = 15y + 3y
15/10 - 6/10 = 18y
9/10 = 18y
18 is multiplying on the right, then it will divide on the left
9/10*1/18 = y
1/10*1/2 = y
1/20 = y
