How to you distribute this equation x-(200+x)0.5?
I get x-100+0.5x but i think it can be simplified to 0.5x-100. How do you simplify it though from x-100+0.5x to 0.5x-100? the "x" in front of "-100" does that get subtracted added or multiplied to the "0.5x"?

When you multiplied out, you got +0.5x for the third term, but it should be -0.5x because you are multiplying -0.5 times x. The full simplification:
x -(200+x)0.5 = x -100 -0.5x = .5x -100.
