The length of the garden is 4.3 m while the width is 4.3 m

Let x represent the length of the garden. Therefore:

The area of the garden = x × x = x²

The width of the walkaway is 1.8 m, hence the length of the garden and walkaway = x + 1.8. The width of the garden and walkaway = x + 1.8.

Hence the area of the garden and walkaway = (x + 1.8) × (x + 1.8) = x² + 3.6x + 3.24

The area of walkaway = (x² + 3.6x + 3.24) - x² = 3.6x + 3.24

Since the area of the walkway is equal to the area of the garden, hence:

3.6x + 3.24 = x²

x² -3.6x - 3.24 = 0

x= 4.34 m or -0.74 m

Since the length cannot be negative, hence x = 4.3  m

Therefore the garden is 4.3 m by 4.3 m

X + ky = 1

X + k y = 1
k x + y = 1  / * ( - k )
----------------
      x + k y = 1
- k² x - k y = - k
--------------------
x - k² x = 1 - k
x ( 1 - k² ) = 1 - k
x = ( 1 - k ) / ( 1 - k² ) = ( 1 - k ) / ( 1 - k ) ( 1 + k )
y = 1 - k( 1 - k )/( 1 - k² )
y = ( 1 - k ) / ( 1 - k² ) = ( 1 - k ) / ( 1 - k ) ( 1 + k )
a ) For  k = - 1 this system has no solution.
b ) For k ≠ - 1 and k ≠ 1, the system has unique solution:
( x , y ) = ( 1/ (1 + k) ,  1/( 1 + k ) ).
c ) For k = 1, there are infinitely many solutions.
