Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Pool:</u>

Width = x ft

Length = (x+6) ft

<u>Pool along with walkway:</u>

Width = x + 5 + 5 = (x + 10) ft

Length = x + 6 + 5 + 5 = (x + 16) ft

Total area of the pool with walkway = 950 sq.ft

length * width = 950

(x+16) * (x + 10) = 950

Use FOIL method,

x*x + x *10 + 16*x + 16 *10 = 950

x² + 10x + 16x + 160 -950 = 0   {Add like terms}

x² + 26x - 790 = 0

Answer:

29.4 length and 21.4 width.

Step-by-step explanation:

To fin the dimensions of the pool we need to use the total area of the pool plus the concrete walkway. Lets say that W is the width and L the length. We know that, the walkway has 3 ft wide, this means that the width and length are increased by 6ft (3ft on each side). So, the total

Find the measure of angle ABD if the measure of angle DBC is 42 degrees and the measure of angle ABC is 88 degrees
snow_lady [41]

    First, realize that angle ABC is the sum of the two other angles. Hence, form an equation in which you subtract the measure of one of the angles from angle ABC to get the measure of the other angle -- the one you are solving for.

Given the function f(x) = 0.65x + 117, what<br> s the x-value of the zero?
swat32

Answer:

x = -180

Step-by-step explanation:

0 = 0.65x + 117

-117 = 65x/100

cross-multiply to solve for 'x':

65x = -11700

x = -11700/65

x = -180
