The width of a swimming pool is 12 feet less than the pool's length. The area of the pool is 540 square feet. What are the dimensions of the pool?

30 feet by 18 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length * width

A  = x*w

w = x - 12

A = 540 sq. ft

540 = x * (x -12)

x*x - 12x - 540 = 0

x*x - 12x  + 36  - 36 - 540 = 0

(x - 6)^2  -  576 = 0

x - 6 = 24

or x -6 = -24

x = 30  or x = -18

w = 30 - 12 = 18

30 ft by 18 ft

answer: 0+0=0
