Answer:
1 :
Step 2 :
Equations which are never true :
2.1 Solve : 2 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
2.2 Solve : 2x+1 = 0
Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation :
2x = -1
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
x = -1/2 = -0.500
One solution was found :
Answer: 300 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
length of walkway = 20 + 2x
width of walkway = 15 + 2x
A(x) = (20 + 2x)(15 + 2x)
A(x) = 300 + 30x + 40x + 4x2
A(x) = 300 + 70x + 4x2
