y = -12/3 x - 18/3
y = -4x - 6
According to the information given in the exercise, the following expression represents the area of the rectangular garden:

And the following expression represents the combined area of the walkway around the rectangular garden and the area of the garden:

You can identify that the word "combined" indicates that that expression was obtained by adding both areas.
Knowing the above, you can set up the following equation:

Where "A" is the area of the walkway around the rectangular garden.
Solving for "A", you get the following expression:

The answer is:
Area of each piece of paper = 8 1/2 x 11 = 17/2 x 11 = 187/2
The greatest number of possible pieces of paper = [1000 ÷ 187/2] = [1000 x 2/187] = [2000/187] = 10
