Answer:

  13 in by 51 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is the product of the dimensions, so is ...

  663 = x(4x -1)

  4x^2 -x -663 = 0 . . . . . . subtract 663 to put in standard form

Using the quadratic formula, we can find the solutions.

  x = (-(-1) ±√((-1)^2 -4(4)(-663)))/(2(4))

  x = (1 ± √10609)/8 = (1 ±103)/8

Only the positive solution is of any use in this problem, so ...

  x = 104/8 = 13

  4x-1 = 4(13)-1 = 51

The dimensions of the rectangle are 13 inches by 51 inches.

Answer:

A stadium has 49000 seats.  

Seats sell for $25 in Section A, z

$20 in Section B,-------------------x seats

$15 in Section C. ------------------y seats  

(x+y)=z  

25(x+y)+20x+15y=1052000

25x+25y+20x+15y=1052000

45x+40y=1052000

/5

9x+8y=210400------------------1

2x+2y=49000

/2

Answer:

Rise over Run

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope and y-intercept values indicate characteristics of the relationship between the two variables x and y. The slope indicates the rate of change in y per unit change in x. The y-intercept indicates the y-value when the x-value is 0.
