Assuming that the walkway has the same width, x, along its two sides, and assuming the entire walkway will use exactly 6 ft. of brick, answer the following questions. Brick C. Use any method to figure out how much the width, x, of the walkway will be. Make sure you show your work.​

Answer 1

3 feets

Explanation:

Given that :

Entire walkway uses 6 feets of brick

Width of walkway = x

Width of walkway is the same along both sides ;

SINCE, the number of sides of the walkway = 2 and each side is the same

Hence,

x + x = 6 feets

2x = 6 feets

x = 6 feets / 2

x = 3 feets
