Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Pool:</u>
Width = x ft
Length = (x+6) ft
<u>Pool along with walkway:</u>
Width = x + 5 + 5 = (x + 10) ft
Length = x + 6 + 5 + 5 = (x + 16) ft
Total area of the pool with walkway = 950 sq.ft
length * width = 950
(x+16) * (x + 10) = 950
Use FOIL method,
x*x + x *10 + 16*x + 16 *10 = 950
x² + 10x + 16x + 160 -950 = 0 {Add like terms}
x² + 26x - 790 = 0
X= 3/2 like the fraction 3 over 2
Answer:
A: x<3 (x is smaller than three)
