Question 392187: Originally a rectangle was twice as long as its wide. When 5 m was subtracted from its length and 3 m was subtracted from its width, the new rectangle had an area of 55m. Find the dimensions of the NEW rectangle. ( not the old dimensions )
Please show work clearly for me to understand.
Thanks :D
This is what I tried:
Let length = 2x-5
Let width = x-3
( 2x-5) ( x- 3 ) = 55
2x^-6x-5x+15=55
2x^-11x+15=55
2x^-11x-40=0
Now im stuck on this part. Please help.

Question 393261: When one number is 2 more than twice another and their product is 2 more than twice their sum, what is the two number solution? I used x to represent one number and 2x + 2, which equals to x(2x + 2)= 2 + 2x + 2 = 2x^2 + 2x = 2x + 4, therefore, 2x^2 + 2x-2x = -4, 2x^2 = -4 = (2x-2)(x+2). Answer: 2 and -2?

Question 394021: The profit function for the Recklus Hang gliding Service is P(x) = -0.4x2 + fx - m, where f represents the set up fee for a customer’s daily excursion and m represents the monthly hanger rental. Also, P represents the monthly profit in dollars of the small business where x is the number of flight excursions facilitated in that month.
a) If $40 is charged for a set up fee, and the monthly hanger rental is $800; write an equation for the profit, P, in terms of x.
This is the equation I got out of this: P= -o.4x^ + Fx = 800
I am a little lost after that
