along a sidewalk. (continued)? Can someone show me how to do this problem?

A gardener is building a rectangular garden so that one side will run along a sidewalk. He wants to put edging around the other 3 sides. He has 50 feet of edging available.
a) Express the area of the rectangular garden as a function of x where x is the length of the side parallel to the side walk.
b) For what value of x is the area largest?
