Question

1. Pool Dimensions. The area of a rectangular
swimming pool is 80 yd?. The length is 1 yd longer
than three times the width. Find the dimensions of
the swimming pool.

Answer 1

Answer: I think the length is 60.25 yd and the width is 19.75 yd

Step-by-step explanation: I formed a equation using the information that has been given.

Width : X

length : 1 + 3x

equation : (1 + 3x) + x = 80

Then, I added the like pairs ( 3x+x ). After, I subtracted 1 from 80 and got 79. Then I divided 79 and 4 (79/4) to get 19.75, which is my x value. later, I substituted the x value to the equation and received my answer.
