The second step is wrong. What should've been done is to find greatest common factor (gcf) of 1/6 and -2. This is because you cannont add together a number with a variable to a number without a variable. So get the variable by itself by subtracting 1/6 from both sides.
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
Turn -2 into a fraction and find the gcf of -2 and 6:
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
1/5x = -2/1 — 1/6 ——> 1/5x = -12/6 — 1/6
1/5x = -13/6
Then divide each side by 1/5 to get the variable by itself; remeber: when dividing a fraction by a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal.
5/1 • 1/5x = -13/6 • 5/1
x = 65/6
Then, simplify
65/6} 10.83 or 10 83/100
So when X is 0, the area of the pool is 1200. That makes A and C impossible... then you can plug in numbers...say the boardwalk is 1 ft wide, add 2 to each dimension and plug in 1 for X. (You're adding 2 because there is a tile on either side of each dimension, including corners).
32x42=1344=4+140+1200
Therefore the answer is B.

Answer:
x(x+1)²
Step-by-step explanation:
x is a common factor to all terms so the first step is to factor it out:
... x(x² +2x +1)
The quadratic factor is recognizable as the square (x+1)², so the factoring is ...
... x(x +1)²
