Let W = width and L = length  length is 3 less than twice width  ==>  L = 2*W - 3 Area = L*W = (2*W-3)*W = 14 
2*W^2 -3*W - 14 = 0
(2W - 7)*(W + 2) = 0 
2W - 7 = 0  or  W + 2 = 0
W = 7/2  or  W = -2
Width cannot be negative so W = 7/2 = 3.5
So L = 2*(7/2) - 3 = 7 - 3 = 4 The length is 4 m and the width is 3.5 m   Check:  2*(3.5) - 3 = 4, length is 3 less than twice width
 
Area = L*W = 4*3.5 = 14 m^2

If f(x)=3x+1 then f(a+h)-f(a)
Varvara68 [4.7K]
F(x) = 3x+1
put x = a+h
f(a+h)  = 3(a+h) + 1
f(a+h) = 3a + 3h + 1
put x = a
f(a) = 3a + 1
f(a+h)-f(a) = 3a + 3h + 1 -(3a+1)
f(a+h)-f(a) = 3a +3h + 1 - 3a -1
f(a+h)-f(a) = 3h
