Step-by-step explanation:
so let length of rectangle be x m and width be y m
so now according to first condition
x=2y-3 (1)
now we know that area of rectangle =length × width
according to second condition
65=xy (2)
substitute x ka value from (1) in (2)
we get xy=65
(2y-3)×y=65
ie 2y square -3y-65=0
so 2y square -13y+10y-65=0
ie 2y (y+5)-13 (y+5)=0
ie 2y-13=0 or y+5=0
ie y=13/2 or y=-5
but are dimensions length negative?
nope
hence y=-5 is absurd
y=13/2 is applicable
y=6.5 m
substitute it in (1) w get x=10
hence length is 10 m and breadth is 6.5 m
u can verify by putting values in formed equation
