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

Andrej [43]

Answer:

A dependent variable is a variable (often denoted by y ) whose value depends on that of another.  so it is the variable that changes depending on the numbers beside it.

Please help me !! find the x intercept and the y intercept
klemol [59]
X intercept: when y = 0
y intercept: when x = 0
Plug info inside the equation
3x + 7(0) = 42
3x = 42, x = 14
Therefore, x intercept: (14,0)
3(0) + 7y = 42
7y = 42, y = 6
Therefore, y intercept: (0,6)
