Answer:
length: 13 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
width: x
length: 3x - 2
Area = Length * Width
65 = x(3x - 2)
65 = 3x² - 2x
3x² - 2x - 65 = 0
(3x + 13)( x - 5) = 0
3x + 13 = 0 and x - 5 = 0
3x = -13 x = 5
x = - 13/3
**Width cannot be a negative number so we'll discard -13/3.
width: x = 5
length: 3x - 2 = 3(5) - 2 = 13
