Isolate x.
24x = 48 - 2y
Divide by 24.
x = 2 - y/12
Use a box. Split the terms into the boxes and then multiply across. Sort of like area multiplication, only with terms.
3 5x
4y 12y 20xy
3 9 15x
Since the pool is square, the four sides are equal.
Therefore the length of one side = sqrt(292) = 17.1 to the nearest tenth.
