Answer:

width: 5.5 yd; length: 8 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the rectangle in yards. Then 2w-3 is the length and the area is the product of length and width:

w(2w-3) = 44

2w^2 -3w -44 = 0 . . . . put the equation into standard form

(w+4)(2w -11) = 0 . . . . . factor the equation

w = -4 or 11/2 . . . . . . . . the negative solution is extraneous

Then the length is 2·(11/2) -3 = 8.

The width of the rectangle is 5.5 yards; the length is 8 yards.

Answer:

.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - y = 17 .......A

10 × [x/5 + y/2] = 10 × 0

2x + 5y = 0 .......B

......A× 5 both 2 sides of equation

15x - 5y = 85 .....C

......B + ........C

2x + 15x = 0 + 85

17x = 85

x = 85/17

x = 5

put x value in ........A or .......B or ......C

you will receive y = -2
