Since the area of the walkway is not given, it's substitution in the answer is x. You do have the measurements of the pool though. Area=length times width. 36 times 18 is 648. The area of the concrete is x-648 ft, because the pool is not apart of the concrete. The area of the walkway can be expressed by X-648 ft.
