To solve for the width and the length of the pool, you will use the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism. You will represent the length and the width of the pool in terms of w, the width.
Please see the attached picture for the work.
The width of the pool is 20 feet.
The length of the pool is 3 x 20 ft or 60 feet.
The borders are shown in the picture attached.
As you can see, starting with border 1, we have 6 daises (white squares) surrounded by 10 tulips (colored squares). Through Jerry's expression we expected:
<span>8(b − 1) + 10 =
</span>8(1 − 1) + 10 =
0 + 10 =
10 tulips.
When considering border 2, we expect:
<span>8(b − 1) + 10 =
</span>8(2 − 1) + 10 =
8 + 10 =
<span>18 tulips.
Indeed, we have the 10 tulips from border 1 and 8 additional tulips, for a total of 18 tulips.
Then, consider border 3, we expect:
</span><span>8(b − 1) + 10 =
</span>8(3 − 1) + 10 =
16 + 10 =
26<span> tulips.
Again, this is correct: we have the 10 tulips used in border 1 plus other 16 tulips, for a total of 26.
Therefore, Jerry's expression is
correct.</span>

Answer:
D, 20:30
Step-by-step explanation:
At first glance, this does not seem like the correct ratio. But I'll spare you a long intro and get into it:
20:30: Divide both of them by 10
=2:3
2 x 12:3 x 12
24:36
Hope this helps!
2(5n-2)=4(n+2)
10n-4=4n+8
6n-4=8
6n=12
n=2
