length = 4 yards and width = 3.5 yards
let width be w then length is 2w - 3
area = w(2w - 3) = 14 (rearrange in standard form )
2w² - 3w - 14 = 0 ← in standard form
(2w - 7 )(w + 2 ) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for w
2w - 7 = 0 ⇒ w = 3.5
w + 2 = 0 ⇒ w = - 2
but w > 0, hence w = 3.5
width = 3.5 yards and length = (2 × 3.5 ) - 3 = 4 yards
Each pencil weighs 4 grams so the answer is B: 4

Answer:
50 gluten-free cupcakes and 100 regular cupcakes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define the variables:
R = number of regular cupcakes sold
G = number of gluten-free cupcakes sold
The total amount of money raised then is:
M = R*$2.00 + G*$3.00
We also know that:
The number of regular cupcakes sold was 2 times the number of gluten-free cupcakes sold.
then:
R = 2*G
And we also know that the amount of money raised is $350
Then we have the equations:
R = 2*G
R*$2.00 + G*$3.00 = $350
We can replace the first equation into the second one, so we have only one variable:
(2*G)*$2.00 + G*$3.00 = $350
Now we can solve this for G.
G*$4.00 + G*$3.00 = $350
G*$7.00 = $350
G = $350/$7.00 = 50
G = 50
50 gluten-free cupcakes where sold.
And using the equation:
R = 2*G = 2*50 = 100
We can conclude that 100 regular cupcakes were sold.
