Answer:
x = -31

Explanation:
To solve for x, you will need to isolate the x on one side of the equation.

This can be done as follows:
5(x-4) + 2 = -173
5x - 20 + 2 = -173
5x - 18 = -173
5x = -173 + 18
5x = -155
5x/5 = -155/5
x = -31

Hope this helps :)

trapecia [35]

Answer: 2(12 × 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rug will be gotten by multiplying the length by its width. This will be:

= 12 foot × 8 foot

= 96feet²

Since the area of the room is twice the area of the rug, the equation you will use to solve for x will be:

= 2(12 × 8)

= 2(96)

= 192feet²
