Since the pool is square, the four sides are equal.
Therefore the length of one side = sqrt(292) = 17.1 to the nearest tenth.
4×2/8
5×2/10
6×2/12
7×2/14
8×2/16
9×2/18
10×2/20
There are a lot more problems but here are a couple to help you for now.
You can solve a system of three equations by multiplying each equation by a number that allows you to add or suvtract the same equation together by eliminating the x or y variable
Yes....a rational number can be turned into a fraction
1.76 = 176/100
Oh, I adore magic squares!
We need all rows to be equivalent, so try adding up the bottom (complete) row to get 7x-4x+3x=10x-4x=6x.
To solve the middle number, we have -2x+X+6x=6x, so X=2x.
To solve the top number, we have X+8x-3x=6x, so X=6x-8x+3x=x
Now check first column,
x-2x+7x=6x ok
Second column
8x+2x-4x=6x ok
Top-right to bottom-right diagonal: x+2x+3x=6x, ok
Bottom-left to top right diagonal: 7x+2x-3x=6x
So everything is ok!
