Answer:
The dimensions of the pool are:
Width: 8.944 feet
Length: 17.888 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From Geometry, the area of a rectangle (
), measured in square feet, is determined by the following equations:
(1)
Where:
- Width, measured in feet.
- Length, measured in feet.
If we know that 
, 
and 
, then we get the following second order polynomial:
(1)
And we solve the expression for 
:
Then, the dimensions of the pool are, respectively:
and 
Answer:
503 $1 tickets sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use two equations
Let x = number of $1 tickets sold
Let y = number of $1.50 tickets sold
x + y = 739
1x + (1.5)y = 857
First equation ==> y = 739 - x
Plug this into the second equation
x + (1.5)(739 - x) = 857
x + 1108.5 - 1.5x = 857
- 0.5x = -251.5
x = 503
There were 503 $1 tickets sold.
To find the number of $1.50 tickets, just plug this value of x into either one of the equations.
(503) + y = 739 (739 - 503 = 236)
y = 236
There were 236 $1.50 tickets sold.
