The area of a rectangular back yard is 55 square meters. the length of the yard is one meter greater than twice the width.
what is the width of the yard in meters?
provide your answer below:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Area= 55

width=y(unknown)

length=1+2y(given)

formula for finding A.=l*b

(1+2y)(y)= y+2y^2

y+2y^2=55

2y^2= 55-y

y=5

verification

2*5^2=55-5

2*25=55-5

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

<4 and <5 are alternate interior angles and alternate interior angles are equal when the lines are parallel

<4 = <5

7x+5 = 5x+27

Subtract 5x from each side

7x+5-5x = 5x+27-5x

2x+5 = 27

Subtract 5 from each side

2x+5-5=27-5

2x =22

Divide by 2

2x/2 =22/2

x =11
