1 answer:

4 0

Eliminate x's by adding te 2 equations

add them

-2x+15y=24
<u>2x+9y=24 +</u>
0x+24y=48

24y=48
divide both sides by 24
y=2

sub back

2x+9y=24
2x+9(2)=24
2x+18=24
minus 18 both sides
2x=6
divide 2
x=3

x=3
y=2

(x,y)
(3,2)

A rectangular pool is surrounded by a walk 3 meters wide. The pool is 4 meters longer than its width. If the total area of the p

motikmotik

x = 26 m is the width of the pool, length: 29+4 = 33 m.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have A rectangular pool is surrounded by a walk 3 meters wide. The pool is 4 meters longer than its width. If the total area of the pool walk is 372 square meters more than the area of the pool.

Let the width of the pool = x

Then the length will = (x+4) ,over all dimensions will be (x+6) by (x+6+4) or (x+10)

Total area - pool area = 372

$(x+10)*(x+6) - x(x+4) = 372\\x^{2}+16x+60-x^{2}-4x = 372\\12x+60 = 372\\12x = 372-60\\12x = 312\\x = 26$

∴ x = 26 ft is the width of the pool, length: 29+4 = 33 ft
