Area = length x width
length = 3 x width - 5
i.e. 50 = w(3w - 5)
3w^2 - 5w - 50 = 0
(3w + 10)(w - 5) = 0
w = -10/3 or w = 5
but width cannot be negative, hence
width = 5 yd
Length = 3 x 5 - 5 = 15 - 5 = 10 yd
Answer:
if y = 5 than 2x - 5 = 5 we can simplify this too 2x = 10 ( by adding the 5 to both sides ) now we can simplify and get x = 5 ( by dividing by 2 ) so we get (5,5) as our first point. well since its in slope intercept form ( y = mx + b ) we can graph it.
