The perimeter of a pool is 64 feet and has a width of x and a length of x-4. Write an equation and find both the width and length of the pool.

Answer provided by our tutors

we will assume that the pool is in rectangle shape then the perimeter is 2 times the sum of the width and the length


2(x + (x - 4)) = 64


by solving we find


x = 18 m


x - 4 = 14 m
