Deck=456
Area of pool= length times width=20 times 50=1000

The Area of the deck is made up of 4 rectangles and 4 squares, the rectangles Areas comes in pair.

Areas are 
Area of deck =2(20w)+4(w^2)+2(50w)d
456=2(20w)+4(w^2)+2(50w)
Distribute 
456=40w+4w^2+100w
Add Like Terms
456=4w^2+140w
Divide Everybody By 4
114=w^2+35w
Subtract 114 From Both Sides 
0=w^2+35w-114

Find What Two Numbers Multiply To Get 114 AND ADD TO GET  35 and FACTOR -3 and 38

0=(w-3)(w+38)
Set Each To Zero 
w-3=0
w=3 

w+38=0
w=-38
False since measures in real life cannot be negative therefore width of walkway =3ft
Hope I helped

With each gallon you need 11 gallons with 2 parts red 9 parts yellow and since 11x4= 44 you need to do this 4 times
4x2(red)= 8
4x9(yellow)=36
36+8=44
basically 8 gallons of red

Solve 9x – 3 > 2x + 11. Show each step of your work please.
Y_Kistochka [10]
Let's do this step by step:
Our objective is to find out x.

First, we have to take the '-3' to the right side, and put it next to the 11. When we do this its operation reverses, so it becomes 11 + 3, which is 14.
So we have 9x > 2x + 14.
Then we do the same to the numbers with X, but this time we take the number from the right side to the left. So 2x to the left (reversed) becomes 9x-2x which is 7x.
So 7x > 14
Now let's simplify, 14/7 = 2
so x = 2
