A continuación se explica cómo resolver el problema: **1. Encuentra el área del jardín:** * Área del jardín = largo * ancho * Área de jardín = 12 metros * 16 metros = 192 metros cuadrados **2. Encuentra el área total del jardín y el pasillo:** * El jardín y el pasillo combinados tienen una superficie de 320 metros cuadrados. **3. Encuentra el área del pasillo:** * Área del pasillo = Área total - Área del jardín * Área del pasillo = 320 metros cuadrados - 192 metros cuadrados = 128 metros cuadrados **4. Modela el pasillo:** * Imagine el pasillo como un marco alrededor del jardín. Llamemos al ancho del pasillo "x". * El largo del jardín más el doble del ancho del pasillo sería 12 + 2x. * El ancho del jardín más el doble del ancho del pasillo sería 16 + 2x. **5. Establecer una ecuación** * El área del pasillo es igual al área total menos el área del jardín: (12 + 2x)(16 + 2x) - 192 = 128 **6. Resuelve la ecuación:** * Ampliar la ecuación: 192 + 56x + 4x^2 - 192 = 128 * Simplificar: 4x^2 + 56x - 128 = 0 *Dividir ambos lados entre 4: x^2 + 14x - 32 = 0 * Factorizar: (x + 16)(x - 2) = 0 *Resolver para x: x = -16 o x = 2 **7. Elija la solución positiva:** *El ancho del pasillo no puede ser negativo, por lo que el ancho del pasillo es de 2 metros. **Respuesta:** El pasillo tiene un ancho de 2 metros.
