I FOUND YOUR COMPLETE QUESTION IN OTHER SOURCES.
PLEASE SEE ATTACHED IMAGE.
For this case the area is given by:
A = (22 + x) * (28 + x) = 722
Rewriting we have:
616 + 22x + 28x + x ^ 2 = 722
x ^ 2 + 50x + 616 - 722 = 0
x ^ 2 + 50x - 106 = 0
Solving the polynomial we have:
x1 = 2.04
x2 = -52.04
We take the positive root:
x = 2.04 inches:
Answer:
The width of the border to the nearest inch is:
x = 2inches

You're very close. However, the less steep line should go through (4,7) and not some point slightly above that location. Also, the shaded region should be above both dashed lines at the same time. So you won't include the portion that I've marked in blue (see attached). Other than that, it looks great.
We will make use of the concept of prime factors for solving this question. The prime factors of 1517 are:
So, as can be clearly seen the Niagara Fall tour operator can either sell 37 tickets for $41 each or 41 tickets for $37 each.
Now, we know that we cannot reach $37 using just three bills. Thus, the only option left to us is $41 which can be broken down into three bills of $20,$20 and $1. This satisfies our condition.
Thus the cost of a ticket was $41 and 37 such tickets were sold.
