The sketch of the garden and the pond is shown below
Area of garden = length × width
Area of garden = [3x + 5] × 3x
Area of garden = 3x[3x+5]
Area of garden = 9x² + 15x
Area of pond = [x-2] × x
Area of pond = x[x-2]
Area of pond = x² - 2x
Area to be re-sod = Area of garden - Area of pond
Area to be re-sod = 9x² + 15x - [x² - 2x]
Area to be re-sod = 9x² - x² + 15x + 2x
Area to be re-sod = 8x² + 17x
The amount of sod needed to be bought would depend on how much in each packaging they are being sold.
