Question

a rectangular swimming pool is 50 meters long and 25 meters wide. A concrete walkway with a width of x meters will surround the pool. The combined area of the pool and the walkway will be 1736 square meters. Solve the equation (50+2)(25+2x)=1736 to find the width of the walkway. Justify that your answer is reasonable

Answer 1

Answer:

You have to Justify with your own words... sorry can't help with that (don't report me!)

Step-by-step explanation:

(50+2)(25+2x)=1736

(52)(25+2x)= 1736

1300+104x=1736

104x= 436

x= 436/104

x= 109/26
