Area = Length * Width = l * w
l = x + 2
w = 2x - 5
Area = (x + 2)(2x - 5) = 56
Area = 2x^2 -x - 10 = 56
Area = 2x^2 - x - 66 = 0 Now you have to factor this thing.
Area = (2x + 11)( x - 6) = 0 This is more or less done by guessing.
2x + 11 = 0 can't work. x would be negative.
x - 6 = 0
x = 6.
Check
=====
l = x + 2
l = 6 + 2
l = 8
w = 2*x - 5
w = 2*6 - 5
w = 12 - 5
w = 7
l*w = 8*7 = 56. It checks.

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.
