Answer: The length is 4 and the width is 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length is 7 feet less than twice the width than x*(2x-7)=22 where x(width) times (2x-7) length equals an area of 22ft

x= 5.5

To solve move all factors to the left side and solve for values of x.

to get x= -2 or 5.5 and since the length can't be negative the answer is 5.5
