Let x be the width of the sidewalk and the area becomes:
A=LW and L=6+2x and W=4+2x now we have
A=(6+2x)(4+2x) and we are told that A=48ft^2
48=24+20x+4x^2
4x^2+20x-24=0
4(x^2+5x-6)=0
x^2+5x-6=0
x^2-x+6x-6=0
x(x-1)+6(x-1)=0
(x+6)(x-1)=0
So x=-6, 1, however since x is a measurement it must be positive thus
x=width=1 ft is the only possible solution.

Answer:
y = 2,-6
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear functions are of the form y = mx + b.
each time the number changes in the x, the y increases by 2
Y=5x-2. Substitute into the second
-3x+6(5x-2)=-12
-3x+30x-12=-12
The -12 cancel
27x=0
x=0
y=-2
check in the second equation
0+6(-2)=-12
