Answer:
i dont know
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w be the width of the deck. Then, using the total area, we get:
(9+2w)(18+2w)=400
4w²+54w-238=0
2w²+27w-119=0
(2w-7)(w+17)=0
w=-17 or 7/2
Using the positive value, we get a width of 3&1/2 ft. for the deck

Answer:
Ali's salary is $50000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Jafar's salary be x.
(31/100)*x = 12400
x = (12400*100)/31
x = 400*100
x = $40000
Let Ali's salary be y.
y-[(20/100)*y] = 40000
y-(y/5) = 40000
(5y-y)/5 = 40000
4y = 200000
y = $50000
