Answer:

<u>1.16 m (approximately)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the width of the path.

Total area  = (5+2x)(3+2x) = 39

Expand and simplify

4x²+ 16x+15-39 = 0

4x² + 16x - 24 = 0

Simplify

x² + 4x -6 = 0

Rational factoring does not work, so use quadratic formula

x = +/- sqrt(10) -2

= 1.16 or -5.16 (reject)

= <u>1.16 m (approximately)</u>

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

2x - 6 = 8

Add sides 6

2x - 6 + 6 = 8 + 6

2x = 14

Divide sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}  =  \frac{14}{2}  \\

x = 7

The correct answer is (( B )) .
