Let the width be w, then length = 2w - 1
Area = length times width = w(2w - 1) = 21.
Thus, 2w^2 - w = 21 or 2w^2 - w - 21 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation gives that w = 3.5.
Therefore, width is 3.5 ft and length is 2(3.5) - 1 = 6 ft.

Answer:
y = 8/5x
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming that they're asking for the equation in point-slope form.
The formula is y=mx+b where:
m = slope
b = y intercept
However, the y intercept is just (0,0) so b = 0
To find the slope we already have 2 given points: (0,0) and (5,8)
To find slope you do rise/run and you get 8/5
Substitute the slope & y intercept in the formula:
y = 8/5x
Let me know if I'm wrong!!
