Answer:the width of the walkway is 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the walkway.

The pool measures 10 ft by 20. If the walkway must have a uniform width around the entire pool, then the total length of the pool and the walkway would be 10 + x + x = 10 + 2x

The total width of the pool and the walkway would be 20 + x + x = 10 + 2x

The area covered by the pool and the cement walkway is 600 square feet. This means that

(10 + 2x)(20 + 2x) = 600

200 + 20x + 40x + 4x^2 = 600

4x^2 + 60x + 200 - 600 = 0

4x^2 + 60x - 400 = 0

Dividing through by 4, it becomes

x^2 + 15x - 100 = 0

x^2 + 20x - 5x - 100 = 0

x(x + 20) - 5(x + 20) = 0

(x - 5)(x + 20) = 0

x = 5 or x = - 20

The width cannot be negative. Therefore, the width of the walkway is 5 feet

An observation of the Moon was conducted from Friday, November 8, 2013 to Thursday, November 14, 2013. The study of the Moon during this period occurred consistently between the hours of 8 and 9 p.m. EST within the Northern Hemisphere at 37.3346° N, 79.5228° W (Bedford, V.A.). The Moon was noted to be illuminated on the right side and had a dark shadow on the left side indicating a waxing phase. The light region grew over the surface of the Moon with each subsequent night. The first night’s phase was waxing crescent with over 25 percent of the Moon lit up. The next night, the light had grown to cover more of the Moon as it continued through its waxing crescent phase.

An observation of the Moon was conducted from Friday, November 8, 2013 to Thursday, November 14, 2013. The study of the Moon during this period occurred consistently between the hours of 8 and 9 p.m. EST within the Northern Hemisphere at 37.3346° N, 79.5228° W (Bedford, V.A.). The Moon was noted to be illuminated on the right side and had a dark shadow on the left side indicating a waxing phase. The light region grew over the surface of the Moon with each subsequent night. The first night’s phase was waxing crescent with over 25 percent of the Moon lit up. The next night, the light had grown to cover more of the Moon as it continued through its waxing crescent phase. On November 10th, the Moon exhibited traits of being at first-quarter or half-moon status because at least 50 percent of its surface was illuminated. In the following nights, the Moon displayed characteristics of waxing gibbous as the light continued to grow across the moon’s surface from right to left. The Moon was nearing closer to the full moon phase on November 14th as only a very small dark shadow was visible on the left side. 
The Moon takes 27.3 days (sidereal month) to complete its actual orbit around the Earth. Like the Sun, the Moon rises in the east and sets in the west each day.

You have to use the distributive property for this worksheet (multiplying the number in front of the parenthesis which each number inside the parenthesis)
1, for example,
8 • x = 8x
8 • 5 = 40
So your answer would be 8x+40. Don’t overthink it. You got the rest! Just comment back if you need help! :]
