Malloy solved the equation −5x − 16 = 8; his work is shown below. Identify the error and where it was made. −5x − 16 = 8 Step 1:

−5x − 16 + 16 = 8 + 16 Step 2: −5x = 24 Step 3: negative five times x over five = twenty-four over five Step 4: x = twenty-four over five

Malloy error was in step 3, Malloy put -5x over 5 = 24 over 5, but the correct way to do step 3 is -5x over -5 = 24 over -5 which then x would equal to 24 over -5 or x = -4.8 in simpler terms

A pool measuring 10 meters by 26 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform​ width, as shown in the figure. If the area of the po
igomit [66]

Based on the measurements of the pool and the path of uniform width, the area of the width and length of the path can be found to be 28.8 meters.

<h3>How to find the width and length?</h3>

First, find the area of the pool:

= Length x Width

= 10 x 26

= 260 meters ²

The area of the path can therefore be found to be:

= Total area of pool and path combined - Area of pool

= 1,092 - 260

= 832 meters²

Seeing as the path has uniform width, that means that the width is the same and the length so the width and length of the pool is:
= √area of the path

= √832

= 28.8

In conclusion, the width and length of the path are 28.8 meters.
