Since the area of the walkway is not given, it's substitution in the answer is x. You do have the measurements of the pool though. Area=length times width. 36 times 18 is 648. The area of the concrete is x-648 ft, because the pool is not apart of the concrete. The area of the walkway can be expressed by X-648 ft.
In order to determine the number of pens present in the container, we need to set up equations from the given in the problem statement. We do as follows:
let x the number of pencils
y the number of pens
From the statement, 9 more pencils then pens in a container,
x = y + 9
From the statement, there are 25 writing utensils in the container in all,
x + y = 25
We use substitution method to calculate for x and y,
y + 9 + y = 25
2y = 16
y = 8
x = 17
Therefore, there are 8 pens in the container and 17 pencils.
