Rosa has a rectangle shaped backyard where the length is two less than twice the width. if the area of the garden is 420 square feet, find the dimensions of rosa's garden?

The expression for the area of a rectangle is given by:
 A = (w) * (l)
 Where,
 l: long
 w: width
 the length is two less than twice the width:
 l = 2w-2
 Substituting the values:
 420 = (w) * (2w-2)
 We rewrite the expression:
 210 = (w) * (w-1)
 210 = w ^ 2-w
 w ^ 2-w-210 = 0
 The roots of the polynomial are:
 w1 = -14
 w2 = 15
 We discard the negative root.
 Width:
 w = 15
 Long:
 l = 2w-2
 l = 2 (15) -2
 l = 30-2
 l = 28
 
 the dimensions of Rosa's garden are:
 w = 15 feet
 l = 28 feet

The answer is: y would equal 3 because if you simplify the equation then it would be y= 3x+9 and if you divide 3x and 9 by 3 it would equal 3. y= 3
