The question is about a rectangular pool.
However, there appears to be a typo here on your part.
You said:
"...surrounded by a path 2m wide at the sides and 3m wide at the ends."
I think you meant to say 2m wide and 3m long, right? A rectangle has two sides: length and width NOT width and width or length and length. Got it?
Review your question and get back to me with the right information that will help us to solve for x.
