When I solved this equation I got x=0.5

You might have made an error the first time you solved for x. I got x = -0.5.

When you have your log base 4, the way you cancel that out is by making 4 the base on both sides, so you get 4^(log4) to reduce to 1, and you're left with:

2x + 3 = 4^(1/2) ... Simplify

2x + 3 = 2

2x = -1

x = -1/2

If you plug that back in, everything checks out. Maybe double check your use of logarithm/exponent properties?

Last one i need help with to move on! I have a pic of the question
adoni [48]

length = 4 yards and width = 3.5 yards

let width be w then length is 2w - 3

area = w(2w - 3) = 14 (rearrange in standard form )

2w² - 3w - 14 = 0 ← in standard form

(2w - 7 )(w + 2 ) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for w

2w - 7 = 0 ⇒ w = 3.5

w + 2 = 0 ⇒ w = - 2

but w > 0, hence w = 3.5

width = 3.5 yards and length = (2 × 3.5 ) - 3 = 4 yards
