Question 925972
L = 2w - 3
Lw = 14
---
(2w - 3)w = 14
2ww - 3w - 14 = 0
---
the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=2, b=-3 and c=-14
---
to solve the quadratic equation, by using the quadratic formula, copy and paste this:
2 -3 -14

---
the quadratic has two real roots at:
---
w = 3.5
w = -2
---
the negative root doesn't fit the problem statement, so use the positive root:
---
answer:
w = 3.5 yd
L = 4 yd
