Answer:
XQ = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question it asks for XQ instead of x, but you need to find x first.
1. Find x.
XQ is half of MQ so this statement is true: 3x - 3 = 2(2x - 6)
Solve for x.
3x - 3 = 2(2x - 6)
Distribute 2.
3x - 3 = 4x - 12
Isolate x.
3x = 4x - 9
-x = -9
Divide -1 out.
x = 9
Now solve for XQ, which the equation is given.
XQ = 2(9) - 6
XQ = 18 - 6
XQ = 12
Answer:
7 is the answer you're looking for
Yes, the larger one is twice the smaller one.
8*2=16
5*2=10
The length and breadth(width) of the pool are

Let

From the question, we can build the following relationships

subtracting to eliminate
(we do not even need it!)

we can also build another relationship from the question. Since the area of the strip equals the area of the pool:

We have two unknowns,
and
. Eliminate 

If we solve the quadratic equation for
, we get

and

The length and breadth(width) of the pool are
