-6m+19
1/2(-12m+38)
All we have to do is simply distribute the 1/2.
1/2(-12m) + 1/2(38)
(-6m) + 19

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Her former rent is $ x
Twice the former rent: 2*x = 2x
$300 less than 2x: 2x - 300
2x - 300 = 550
Add 300 to both sides
2x - 300 + 300 = 550 + 300
2x = 850
Divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 850/2
x = 425
Her former rent = $425
The first is not a polynomial as one term is dividing.
