Answer: x = -14/5

Step-by-step explanation: We shall begin by expanding the brackets for both sides of the equation

-2/3 (x + 2) = 1/6 (x + 6)

(-2x/3) -4/3 = (x/6) + 1

By collecting like terms we now have

(-2x/3) - (x/6) = 1 + 4/3

(-4x - x)/6 = 7/3

-5x/6 = 7/3

By cross multiplication we now have

-5x (3) = 7 (6)

-15x = 42

x = -(42/15) {simplify further by dividing the RHS by 3}

x = -14/5

Therefore x equals, minus fourteen over five (-14/5)

A square pool has a side length of x feet.A uniform border around pool is 1 footwide.The total area of the pool and the border o
lions [1.4K]
The total area of pool and border = 361  square feet.

Length of square pool = x

Length of square pool plus border =  (x + 1 +1 ) = x + 2

There is 1 foot length on each side on the x  length.

The other length of the square pool and border =  (x + 2)

Area = (x+2)(x+2)

     (x + 2)(x +2) =  361.            Let A = x +2

        A*A = 361
            A²  = 361    Take square root of both sides
             A  = √361
               A = 19

A = x + 2 = 19
       x = 19 - 2
       x = 17

Area of square pool = x*x = 17*17 = 289

Area of the pool = 289 square feet.
