Question 351641: A playing field has area 4700ft squared. it's length is 6ft less than twice its width. Give the dimensions of the playing field

Area=width*length
Let the width be x then length is 2x-6
subtract 4700 from each side
factor
subtract 2x from each side
divide both sides by -2
then length is 2*50-6=94
subtract 47 from each side
length can't be negative, so we don't do anything with this answer
So the dimensions are width 50 and length 94
