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

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3
