x² + 10x = 26
x² + 10x + 25 = 26 + 25
x² + 5x + 5x + 25 = 51
x(x) + x(5) + 5(x) + 5(5) = 51
x(x + 5) + 5(x + 5) = 51
(x + 5)(x + 5) = 51
(x + 5)² = 51
x + 5 = ±√(51)
- 5 - 5
x = -5 ± √(51)
x = -5 + √(51) or x = -5 - √(51)
10 1/5 times 5/1 add the zero
X=3
x is the width of the sidewalk
The outside dimensions of the walkway are 12 + 2x by 8 + 2x
The total area is (12 + 2x)(8 + 2x)
The total area minus the area of the pool should be equal to the area of the pool
