Expand the brackets first
5(wx-v) = 9(x + v)
5wx - 5v = 9x + 9v
Get all x's on one side and everything on on the other side
9x - 5wx = 9v + 5v
factorise out the x
x(9-5w) = 14v
then divide by 9-5w
x = 14v/(9-5w)
SOLUTION:
Let whole number = x
x + 2x^2 = 21
2x^2 + x - 21 = 0
2x^2 + 7x - 6x - 21 = 0
x ( 2x + 7 ) - 3 ( 2x + 7 ) = 0
( 2x + 7 ) ( x - 3 ) = 0
2x + 7 = 0
2x = - 7
x = - 7 / 2
OR
x - 3 = 0
x = 3
ANSWER:
Therefore, as 3 is a whole number while - 7 / 2 isn't a whole number, the whole number must be 3.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
The area of the path would be 231.25 squared meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the path as 45m (the field's area), then add 2.5m to all of the sides. You'll get 47.5m on all sides. Then you do 47.5² to get 2256.25 squared meters. After that, you'll remove the area of the squared field. To do this, do 45m². By doing this, you'll get 2025 squared meters. Lastly, to finish up the question, do 2256.25 - 2025. This would get you 31.25 squared meters, the answer.
