Two girls agree to mow a lawn |

Milorad pose la question : Two girls agree to mow a lawn 60m by 80m so that the first girl cuts one half by
cutting a uniform strip around the lawn. How wide a strip should the first girl cut?
I've been struggling with the question above, mainly with the equation and I have
set it up as 2400=(60-2x)(80-2x), if this is incorrect I would like to know where I've
gone wrong and also would like a full answer to see it properly done. I need an algebraic
answer and not one with a diagram. Penny Nom lui répond. |
