Michael Phelps is an American retired competitive swimmer and the most successful in most decorated Olympian of all time was a total of 28 medals has an oversized swimming pool whose side lengths are congruent. One side length of his swimming pool is represented by the algebraic expression: 0.6 + 0.3[-(-2)-(-0.2x)]-0.2 and the other side length is represented by the algebraic expression:0.08[1/2x-(-1/8)]+0.03x+0.01+0.01x. Use your knowledge Congruent sides well as solving linear equations in one variable then find the measurement of both side lengths. Note, you must first find the value of the unknown variable to obtain the value of both side lengths of the pool. Extension: what is you're observation about both side lengths after obtaining the unknown variable and substituting is on both sides? What can you conclude in terms of the solution? Justify your reasoning in words.
