1. Let's call:
 
 x: the width of the walkway.
 b: 2x+16 (there is a widht "x" of the walkway on each side).
 h: 2x+32  (there is a widht "x" of the walkway on each side).
 A: 924 ft^2 ( the area of the pool of including the walkway).
 
 2. The area of a rectangle is:  
 
 A=(b)(h)
 
 b: the base of the rectangle (2x+16)
 a: the height of the rectangle (2x+32)

 3. Then, we have a quadratic equation:
 
 924=(2x+16)(2x+32)
 4x^2+64x+32x+512-924=0
 4x^2+96x-412=0
 
 4. We apply the quadratic formula to find the value of "x":
 
 x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a
 
 x=3.71
 
 The answer is: The width of the walkway is 3.71 ft

If only half as much milk is used each day, after how many days will more milk need to be purchased?
nordsb [41]
If you are using half as much milk every day, you'll never run out because you'll just keep using half as much. You still won't run out with the coffee shop problem or the refrigerator problem.
