Question

The area of a rectangular swimming pool is 10x2 – 19x – 15. The length of the pool is 5x + 3. What is the width of the pool?%0D%0A%0D%0A(1 point)%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0A2x – 18%0D%0A2 x – 18%0D%0A%0D%0A2x – 5%0D%0A2 x – 5%0D%0A%0D%0A5x – 5%0D%0A5 x – 5%0D%0A%0D%0A5x – 22

Answer 1

To find the width of the pool, we can divide the area of the pool by its length:

Width = Area / Length

So, the width of the pool is:

(10x^2 - 19x - 15) / (5x + 3)

However, it is not possible to simplify this expression further, so the width of the pool is (10x^2 - 19x - 15) / (5x + 3). None of the given options matches this expression.
