I think it's 745 remainder 4
The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its side lengths.
P=2(L+W), we are told that L=3W and P=176 so
2(3W+W)=176
2(4W)=176
8W=176
W=22 ft, since L=3W
L=66 ft
So the yard is 22 feet wide and 66 feet long.
So here's the solution to the problem:
Calculate the average sell:
1,700 * $25 = $42,500 (revenue)
And if the Opera House wants to increase their revenue:
The price of a ticket will be:
$25 - x (where x is the number of 1-dollar decreases)
The number of tickets in total:
1,700 + 200x
Therefore the equation is:
(1,700 +200x) * ( 25 - x ) = 55,000
We can also solve this equation, but the solutions are not whole numbers.
x 1 = 5.89 and x 2 =10.6
For x = 6 (6 times 1 - dollar decreases):
( 1,700 + 200 * 6 ) * ( 25 - 6 ) = ( 1,700 + 1,200 ) * 18
=2,900 *19 = 55,100 (we will yield the revenue over $55,000)

1st and 2nd equation (multiply 1st by -2 ):
-2x - 10 y + 8 z = 20
2 x - y + 5 z = -9
---------------------------
- 11 y + 13 z = 11 / * ( -20 )
1st and 3rd:
- 2 x - 10 y + 8 z = 20
2 x - 10 y - 5 z = 0
-----------------------------
- 20 x + 3 z = 20 / * 11
----------------------------------
220 y - 260 z = -220
- 220 y + 33 z = 220
------------------------------
z = 0, y = -1, x = - 5
2 )
2 x - y + 5 = -4
- 2 x + 3 y - 5 = - 10
Substitution: y = 2 x + 9
- 2 x + 3(2 x + 9 ) = -5
4 x = - 32, x = -8, y = -7, z = 5
3 )
x + y + z = 11
1.5 x+3 y +1.5 z = 21
x = 2 y
------------------------
3 y + z = 11 / * (-2)
6 y + 1.5 z = 21
------------------------
- 6 y - 2 z = -22
6 y + 1.5 z = 21
------------------------
-0.5 z = -1, z = 2, y = 3, z = 6
Answer: the store used 6 pounds of peanuts, 3 pounds of almonds and 2 pounds of raisins.
