Hello! Seeings 20 is less than 50, you then need to round down. If its over 50 then you round up! So if you have 14 its rounded to 10. And if you have 16 round it to 20. So 820 is rounded to 800.
We are asked to solve for the width "x" in the given problem. To visualize the problem, see attached drawing.
We have the area of the swimming pool such as:
Area SP = l x w
Area SP = 10 * 16
Area SP = 160 feet2
Area of the swimming pool plus the sidewalk with uniform width:
Area SP + SW = (10 + x) * (16 + x)
160 + 155 = 160 + 10x + 16x + x2
160 -160 + 155 = 26x + x2
155 = 26 x + x2
x2 + 26x -155= 0
Solving for x, we need to use quadratic formula and the answer is 5 feet.
The value of x is

Answer:
Below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) ( a^2 + b^2 = (a + b)^2 - 2ab
= 29 - 2(6)
= 29-12
= 17.
2). (x - y)^2 = x^2 + y^2 - 2xy
so 20 = 18 - 2xy
2xy = 18-20 = -2
xy = -1.
3). 1/x + x = 7
(1/ x + x)^2 = 1/x^2 + x^2 +x/x + x/x
= 1/x^2 + x^2 + 2
But(1/x + x)^2 = 7^2 = 49
so 1/x^2 + x^2 + 2 = 49
so 1/x^2 + x^2 = 49 - 2 = 47.
Well 16x12=192 then subtract it by 8 and 184 rolls were eaten! OMG
