A contractor needs 54 square feet of brick to construct a rectangular walkway. The length of the
walkway is 15 feet more than the width.
Write an equation that could be used to determine the dimensions of the walkway. Solve this
equation to find the length and width, in feet, of the walkway.
L = W + 15
L * W = 54
(W + 15) * W = 54
W^2 + 15W = 54
W^2 + 15W – 54 = 0
W = (-15 +/- sqrt(15^2 – 4 * 1 * -54)) / (2 * 1)
W = (-15 +/- sqrt(225 + 216)) / 2
W = (-15 +/- sqrt(441)) / 2
W = (-15 +/- 21) / 2
W = 6/2 or W = -36/2
W = 3 or W = -18
Obviously W cannot equal -18, so W = 3 and L = 18.

I found great little kits at The Home Depot for raised bed gardening. They are the perfect size, affordable, and probably in stock at most stores. All you will need to get your SFG started is a grid (very important) and the “All New Square Foot Gardening” book!! I am so glad to have stumbled on these in the garden center. HD is also selling really cute rain barrels and compost bins too! My suggestion is to get them BEFORE spring arrives. Gardening is time critical and you certainly do not want to have to wait on back orders to start your garden!
Oops! Also, when I mentioned these were $50, I meant $50 per bed vs the kits are $59!

Take a stroll through the streets, parks and neighborhoods that make up Greenwich Village. Before Washington Square became the NYU undergrad film school back lot, the area was known for it’s street art, spontaneous hootenannies, poetry jam sessions and neighborhood fairs. Take a walk around the Village before it became too cool for you.
