Answer:

area = x(3x-5)=3x²-5x

area =112cm²

3x²-5x=112

3x²-5x-112=0

b²-4ac = (-5)²-4(3*-112)=1369

Δ=1369→strictly positive, the equation 3x²−5x−112=0 admits two solutions.

(-b-√Δ)/2a =(5-37)/6 =-16/3

(-b+√Δ)/2a =(5+37)/6 = 7

a length is never negative, ⇒x= 7

width =7cm

length = 3x-5=21-5=16cm
