Question 1185017: The pool has a width of x feet. The length of the pool is 2 feet more than the width. The depth of the pool is 4 feet less than twice the width.
Given the pool's volume in cubic feet is 24 times its width in linear feet, what is the depth of the pool?

x = width
x+2 = length
2x-4 = depth
The volume in cubic feet is 24 times the width in feet:
x = 4 or x=-4; obviously -4 makes no sense.
ANSWER: the depth of the pool is 2x-4 = 4 feet.
Note the "pool" is not very practical -- its dimensions are 4x6 feet and 4 feet deep....
