The width of the walkway around the pool will be 2 feet.

<h3>What is the area of the rectangle?</h3>

Let L be the length and W be the width of the rectangle.

Then the area of the rectangle will be

Area of the rectangle = L × W square units

Nicole is building a walkway with a width of x feet to go around a swimming pool that measures 11 feet by 7 feet.

Let a be the width of the walkway.

The area of the pool will be

If the total area of the pool and the walkway will be 165 square feet.

Area of pool = (11 + 2a) x (7 + 2a)

165 = 4a² + 36a + 77

4a² + 36a - 88 = 0

a² + 9a - 22 = 0

a² + 11a - 2a - 22 = 0

(a + 11)(a - 2) = 0

a = -11, 2

The width of the walkway around the pool will be 2 feet.

More about the area of the rectangle link is given below.

Someone please solve this. no where is an answer to this
serg [7]

Answer:

a=-8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

  (-1/2a-5)=3a+1

To find the opposite of  1/2 a−5, find the opposite of each term.

-1/2a-(-5)= -3a+1

The opposite of −5 is 5.

-1/2a+5=-3a+1

add 3a to both sides

-1/2a+5+3a=1

Combine-1/2and 3a to get 5/2a

5/2a+5=1

Subtract 5 from both side

5/2a=1-5

Subtract 5 from 1 to get −4.

5/2a=-4

Multiply both sides by 2/5 =0.4, the reciprocal of  5/2=2.5.

a=-4x(2/5)

express -4x(2/5)=1.6 as single  fraction.

a= -4x2/5

Multiply −4 and 2 to get −8.

a=-8/5

Fraction −8/5 ≈−1.6 can be rewritten as −8/5 =−1.6 by extracting the negative sign.

a=-8/5
