Answer :
Answer:
[tex]A_w=238x-2176[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Length of pool [tex]L=34ft[/tex]
Width of Pool [tex]W=x[/tex].
Brick walkway Width [tex]W_b=4[/tex]
Generally the expression for a Area of pool is mathematically given by
[tex]A=L*W[/tex]
[tex]A=34*x[/tex]
[tex]A=34x[/tex]
Generally the expression for a Area of pool + Walkway is mathematically given by
[tex]A'=L'*B'[/tex]
where
[tex]L' =L+2(W_b)[/tex]
[tex]L' =34+2(4)[/tex]
[tex]L'=34+8[/tex]
[tex]L'=272[/tex]
And
[tex]W'=W+2(W_b)[/tex]
[tex]W' =x+2(4)[/tex]
[tex]W' =x+8[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]A'=L'*B'[/tex]
[tex]A'=(272)*(x+8)[/tex]
[tex]A'=272x+2176[/tex]
Generally the expression for a Area of Walkway is mathematically given by
[tex]A_w=Area\ of\ Pool+Walkway-Area\ of\ Pool[/tex]
[tex]A_w=A'-A[/tex]
[tex]A_w=272x+2176-34x[/tex]
[tex]A_w=238x-2176[/tex]
