We need to account for both x values on either side of the length, and width.
Thus, the length becomes 10 + x + x = 10 + 2x
and the width becomes 5 + x + x = 5 + 2x

For the second question, I'm assuming we don't account for the area that is covered by the garden.
Then we can say that the path is measured by: (5 + 2x)(10 + 2x) - 50, which is the area of the garden itself.

(5 + 2x)(10 + 2x) - 50 = 54

Expanding the brackets:
50 + 10x + 20x + 4x^{2} - 50 = 54
4x^{2} + 30x = 54
2x^{2} + 15x - 27 = 0
2x^{2} - 3x + 18x - 27 = 0
x(2x - 3) + 9(2x - 3) = 0

(x + 9)(2x - 3) = 0
x = -9, or x = 3/2

Since x > 0, then x ≠ -9
Thus, the only x-value we can take is x = 3/2

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Mechanic 1: $55 per hour

Mechanic 2: $105 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the rate of the first mechanic with x and the second with y.

So, we have:

x + y = 160

The total earnings is: $1850, so we have:

5x + 15y = 1850

Required

Determine the rate of each

The equations are:

x + y = 160 --- (1)

5x + 15y = 1850 --- (2)

Divide (2) through by 5

x + 3y = 370 --- (3)

Subtract (1) from (3)

x - x + 3y - y = 370 - 160

2y = 210

Divide through by 2

y = \frac{210}{2}

y = 105

Substitute 105 for y in (1)

x + y = 160

Make x the subject

x = 160 - y

Substitute 105 for y

x = 160 - 105

x = 55

Hence:

Mechanic 1: $55 per hour

Mechanic 2: $105 per hour
