No other specified information, so assumption is uniform wide walkway around the 50 square meter garden.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Whole yard area, \"10%2A14\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Just the garden area, \"%2810-2%2Ax%29%2814-2%2Ax%29=50\", and x is the width around the garden, to be the walkway.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"140-48x%2B4x%5E2-50=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%282x%5E2-24x%2B45=0%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "If you really want to solve by completing the square, go ahead. You start it as \"2%28x%5E2-12x%2B45%2F2%29=0\", and the term to add and subtract INSIDE the parentheses is \"%2812%2F2%29%5E2=6%5E2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You do the rest of this or what you need.\r
