Answer:
(a)The missing measurements are 9 feet and 
.
(b)Therefore, the length of the fence is 
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram of the yard is attached below.
(a)I have labeled the missing dimensions of the yard as x and y.
Therefore:
Similarly:
The missing measurements are 9 feet and .
(b)Length of the Fence
The fence is rectangular shaped with:
Length = 
Width = 
Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2(L+W)
Therefore, the length of the fence
STEP 1:
determine equations needed
x= # of $10 tickets
y= # of $14 tickets
QUANTITY EQUATION
x + y= 800
COST EQUATION
$10x + $14y= $9,040
STEP 2:
multiply quantity equation by -14
-14(x + y)= -14(800)
-14x - 14y= -11,200
STEP 3:
add new quantity equation in step 2 to cost equation of step 1 to solve for x using elimination
-14x - 14y= -11,200
10x + 14y= 9040
y term cancels out
-4x= -2160
divide both sides by -4
x= 540 ten dollar tickets
STEP 4:
substitute x value in step 3 into either original equation
x + y= 800
540 + y= 800
subtract 540 from both sides
y= 260 fourteen dollar tickets
ANSWER: There were 540 $10 tickets and 260 $14 tickets sold.
