Answer:

The length is 28 and the width is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can make the width as x.

Since the length is 5 less than 3 times the width, it's going to be 3x - 5

So now we've got the length and width, just need to find the perimeter, which is all the sides added up together. They already gave us the perimeter, so we just have to solve the equation:

2(3x - 5) + 2x = 78

6x - 10 + 2x = 78

8x - 10 = 78

8x = 88

x = 11

x = 11, but remember, x is the width, not the length. Since we already found what x is, we just have to plug it into the equation of:

3x - 5

3 × 11 - 5

33 - 5 = 28

Answer: Length = 28 (don't forget to add the unit if there is one)

Nezavi [6.7K]
If you would like to know how long will it take to drain the pool, you can calculate this using the following steps:

3 hours ... 250 gallons
x hours = ? ... 150 gallons (= 400 - 250)

3 * 150 = 250 * x
x = 3 * 150 / 250 
x = 1.8 hours

3 hours + 1.8 hours = 4.8 hours

The correct result would be B. 4.8 hours.
