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:
To what
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a. 
b. 
c. 
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The volume of water initially in the fish tank = 15 liters
The volume of brine added per minute = 5 liters per minute
The rate at which the mixture is drained = 5 liters per minute
The amount of salt in the fish tank after t minutes = x
Where the volume of water with x grams of salt = 15 liters
dx = (5·c - 5·c/3)×dt = 20/3·c = 

b. The amount of salt, x after t minutes is given by the relation




c. Given that in 10 minutes, the amount of salt in the tank = 25 grams, and the volume is 15 liters, we have;
