Level 8: A plot consists of a rectangular garden measuring 8 m by 10 m, surrounded by a path of constant width, as shown in the diagram. The total area of the plot (garden and path) is 143 m². 8 m Three studsyats, Kevin, Elaine, and Tony, have been given the problem of trying to fizd the width of the path. Each of them is using a different method, but all of them are using x to represent the width of the path. 10 m Kevin divides the path into eight pieces. He writes down the area of each piece in terms of x. He then forms an equation by setting the area of the path plus the area of the garden equal to the total area of the plot. (a) Write, in terms of x, the area of each section into Kevin's diagram below. (b) Write down and simplify the equation that Kevin should get. Give your answer in the form ax +bx+c 0. 8 m 10 m Equation: Kevin's Diagram
