Answer:

  • A + (100 +4.5A) = 1675
  • A ≈ 286.4 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells us that the area of the sandbox and playground together is 1675 square feet. Using A as the area of the sandbox section, the playground section is said to be (100 +4.5A). Then the total area is ...

  A + (100 +4.5A) = 1675 . . . . . . an equation to determine A

  5.5A = 1575 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 100, collect terms

  A = 1575/5.5 = 286 4/11 . . . . . divide by 5.5

The area of the sandbox section is about 286.4 square feet.
