The area of a rectangle is 33 m-, and the length of the rectangle is 5 m less than twice the width. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

x = 9.25

y = 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

area = 33

let length be y and width be x

2x - 5 = y

area of rectangle = length * breadth

(2x-5) (x) = 33

2x²-5x=33

2x²-5x-33=0

solving quadratic equation

x = 9.25

y = 13.5
