Answer:

  3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the deck. The deck adds to the pool dimensions on both sides, so the area of the site including pool and deck will be ...

  A = (20 +2x)(50 +2x) = 1000 +140x +4x^2

The area of the pool alone is

  A = (20)(50) = 1000

So, the area of the deck is the difference:

  456 = (4x^2 +140x +1000) -(1000)

Dividing by 4 and subtracting 114, we have ...

  x^2 +35x -114 = 0

  (x -3)(x +38) = 0

Solutions to this are x = 3 and x = -38. The positive solution is the one of interest.

The deck is 3 feet wide.

What is the value of X plz help
Tema [17]

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x + 12)° + (6x - 8)° = 180°

(5x + 12 + 6x - 8)° = 180°

(11x + 4)° = 180°

11x + 4 = 180

11x = 180- 4

11x = 176

x = 176/11

x = 16
