We are asked to solve for the width "x" in the given problem. To visualize the problem, see attached drawing.
We have the area of the swimming pool such as:
Area SP = l x w
Area SP = 10 * 16
Area SP = 160 feet2
Area of the swimming pool plus the sidewalk with uniform width:
Area SP + SW = (10 + x) * (16 + x)
160 + 155 = 160 + 10x + 16x + x2
160 -160 + 155 = 26x + x2
155 = 26 x + x2
x2 + 26x -155= 0
Solving for x, we need to use quadratic formula and the answer is 5 feet.
The value of x is

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : In a sociology class there are 14 sociology majors and 11 non-sociology majors.
Total students = 14+11=25
Number of students are randomly selected = 3
Then, the number of ways to select 3 students from 25 students :-
Number of ways to select at least 2 of the 3 students re non-sociology majors :-
The probability that at least 2 of the 3 students selected are non-sociology majors will be :-
So we know that the swimming pool is 15 by 7 meters wide.
15 times 7 is 105.
Now, a tile costs $6 and covers 1 square meter.
So, we should multiply 105 by 6, which would give us 630.
So, if I'm correct, the answer should be that it costs him $630 to install the tiles on the swimming pool.
(sorry if I'm incorrect)
