Question

A rectangular garden has a walkway around it. The area of the garden is 4(4.5x+1.5) The combined area of the garden and the walkway is 5.5(8x+4) find the area of the walkway around as the sum of two terms.

Answer 1

The area of the walkway around is 26 x + 16 as the sum of two terms

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular garden has a walkway around it

1. The area of the garden is 4(4.5 x + 1.5)

2. The combined area of the garden and the walkway is 5.5(8 x + 4)

We need to find the area of the the walkway

To find the area of the walkway by subtracting the area of the

rectangle from the combined area

∵ The combined area = 5.5(8 x + 4) ⇒ simplify it

∴ The combined area = 5.5(8 x) + 5.5(4)

∴ The combined area = 44 x + 22

∵ The area of the garden = 4(4.5 x + 1.5) ⇒ simplify it

∴ The area of the garden = 4(4.5 x) + 4(1.5)

∴ The area of the garden = 18 x + 6

Now subtract the area of the garden from the combined area

∵ Area of the walkway = (44 x + 22) - (18 x + 6)

∴ Area of the walkway = 44x + 22 - 18 x - 6

- Add like terms

∴ Area of the walkway = (44 x - 18 x) + (22 - 6)

∴ Area of the walkway = 26 x + 16

The area of the walkway around is 26 x + 16 as the sum of two terms
