Please help ASAP :)! The width of the path is_
meters.

A pool measuring 12 meters by 24 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width,
as shown in the figure. If the area of the pool and the path combined is 988 square
meters, what is the width of the path?
12 + 2x
12
24
24 + 2x

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.

answer: i literally just answered this question but they want me to do it again

step-by-step explanation:

i think the length is 12 and the width is 17
