Let x be the width 
2x-3= length 

(2x-3)(x)=14
2x^2-3x=14 
2x^2-3x-14=0 
(2x- 7)(x+2)=0 
x=7/2 or x=-2

Since we know that negative values cannot exist in distance, we have to take 7/2 to as the correct answer. 

The width would be 3.5 yards 
Length= 2(3.5)-3 
=4 yards 

3.5 x 4 yards is the dimension of the rectangle 

Hope I helped :)

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Given:

• Total number of cans collected = 150

,

• Percent of cans that were soda = 58%

Let's find the number of other cans he collected.

To find the number of other cans, since the percent of soda is 58%, let's find the pecent of other cans.

Percent of other cans = 100% - 58% = 42%

The percent of other cans collected was 42%.

Now, to find the number of other cans collected, let's find 42% of the total number of cans collected 150.

We have:

42\text{ \% }\ast150\Longrightarrow0.42\times150=63

Therefore, the number of other cans collected is 63 cans.

ANSWER:

63 cans
