We are asked to solve for the width "x" in the given problem. To visualize the problem, see attached drawing.
We have the area of the swimming pool such as:
Area SP = l x w
Area SP = 10 * 16
Area SP = 160 feet2
Area of the swimming pool plus the sidewalk with uniform width:
Area SP + SW = (10 + x) * (16 + x)
160 + 155 = 160 + 10x + 16x + x2
160 -160 + 155 = 26x + x2
155 = 26 x + x2
x2 + 26x -155= 0
Solving for x, we need to use quadratic formula and the answer is 5 feet.
The value of x is

5 feet. </span>
=3(3z)2-3
=3(9z2)-3
=27z^2-3
=3(9z^2-1)
=3(3z+1)(3z-1)
Let us determine each of their rates of work:
Since Tiana can clear the field in 3 hours, meaning she can do 1/3 of the work per hour.
In the same way, Jacob can do 1/2 of the work per hour.
Now, what would be the rate of work if they were working together? Let's look at it like this:
Hours to complete the job:
Tiana = 3
Jacob = 2
Together = t
Work done per hour:
Tiana = 1/3
Jacob = 1/2
Together = 1/t
If you add their labor together:
1/3 + 1/2 = 1/t
5/6 = 1/t
t = 6/2 = 1.2
Together, they can clear the field in 1.2 hours.
