Suppose the width of the path is x. 
the dimensions of the extended rectangle are (12+x+x), and (16+x+x) 
(12+2x)(16+2x)=285
4x²+56x+192=285
4x²+56x-93=0
Not easy to factor it, so use the quadratic formula to solve:
x={-56+√[(56²-4*4*(-93)]}/2*4 or x={-56-√[(56²-4*4*(-93)]}/2*4
x=1.5 (ignore the negative solution.)

Whats an equation slop 0.5, passes through(6,4)
4vir4ik [10]

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies 0.5 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-4=0.5(x-6) \\\\\\ y-4=0.5x-3\implies y=0.5x+1
