---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Define Length and Width
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let the width be x
Width = x
Length = 2x + 5

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form equation and solve for x
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x(2x + 5) = 63
2x² + 5x = 63
2x² + 5x - 63 = 0
<span>(x+7)(2x-9) = 0
</span>x = -7 (rejected, length cannot be negative) or 2x - 9 = 0
2x - 9 = 0
2x = 9
x = 9 ÷ 2 
x = 4.5 ft

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find Length and Width
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Width = x = 4.5 ft
Length = 2x + 5 = 2(4.5) + 5 = 14 ft

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Width = 4.5 ft , Length = 14 ft
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. y=7-3x
4x+2(7-3x)=16
4x+14-6x=16
-2x=2
x=-1
-3+y=7
y=10
(-1,10)

2. x=2y
2(2y)+2y=4
4y+2y=4
6y=4
y=2/3
x-2(2/3)=0
x-4/3=0
x=4/3
