You want to make the denominator of the fractions to be equal to each other.

(2/n+8)+(4/n+1) multiply n+1 by n+8, and multiply n+8 by n+1

(4n+32/n^2+8)+(2n+2/n^2+8) Now that the denominators are equal we can solve the numinator by adding like terms.
4n+2n=6n, 32+2=34

Your final answer is 2(3n+17)/n^2+8

Unfortunately there isn't enough information.

Check out the diagram below. We have segment BC equal to 120 meters long. Points B, C, D and E are all on the edge of the same circle. According to the inscribed angle theorem, angles BDC and BEC are congruent. This shows that the surveyor could be at points D or E, or the surveyor could be anywhere on the circle. There are infinitely many locations for the surveyor to be at, which leads to infinitely many possible widths of this canal.
