Answer: 12,919 gallons of water will remain in the pool after 169 days .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Initial quantity of water = 14,102 gallons

Water leaking rate = 7 gallons per day

Water remains in pool after d days = ( Initial quantity of water) -(water leaking rate) (Number of days)

= 14102 - 7d

At d= 169

Water remains in pool after 169 days  = 14102 - 7(169)

= 14102 - 1183

= 12919

Hence, 12,919 gallons of water will remain in the pool after 169 days .
