The area of a rectangle is 27 square meters. if the length is 6 meters less than 3 times the width, then find the dimensions of the rectangle. round off your answers to the nearest hundredth.

Length (L): 3w - 6

width (w): w

Area (A) = L x w

        27 = (3w - 6)w

        27 = 3w² - 6w

          0 = 3w² - 6w - 27

          0 = 3(w² - 2w - 9)

 w =

    =          

   =  

   =  

   =  

since width cannot be negative, disregard 1 - √10

w = 1 + √10  = 4.16

Length (L): 3w - 6   = 3(4.16) - 6   = 12.48 - 6   = 6.48

width=4.16 meters, length=6.48 meters

well my understanding of this question is they want you to use the y=14.1x -2.3 and put the coordinates they gave you onto the line segment of   y=14.1x -2.3
