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

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

$323

Step-by-step explanation:

The monthly payment can be calculated using the formula:

M=\frac{P(\frac{r}{12})(1+\frac{r}{12})^n}{(1+\frac{1}{12})^n-1}\\\\

where:

  • M=monthly payment
  • P=amount borrowed
  • r=annual interest rate
  • n=total number of monthly payments:

Our parameters are defined as:

n=60\\P=21000-4000=17000\\r=5.3%\\\\

We plug our parameters in the equation to solve for M;

M=M=\frac{P(\frac{0.053}{12})(1+\frac{0.053}{12})^n}{(1+\frac{0.053}{12})^{60}-1}\\\\\\\\

=\frac{P(\frac{0.053}{12})(1+\frac{0.053}{12})^{60}}{(1+\frac{0.053}{12})^{60}-1}\\\\\\=323.15

=323.15\approx\$323

Hence, the monthly payment is $323
