Area = L*W
Area = 660 sq. ft

Area = 600 sq. yd
Width = x yd
Length =(3x-5 )
Area =x *(3x-5 )
600 =3x^2-5x
3x^2-5x -600=0
Find the roots of the equation by quadratic formula

a= 3 ,b= -5 ,c= -600

b^2-4ac= 25 + 7200
b^2-4ac= 7225

x1=( 5 + 85 )/ 6
x1= 15
x2=( 5 -85 ) / 6
x2= -13.33 Ignore negative value
width = 15 yd
length = 40 yd
check
Area = 15*40 = 600
