Answer :

Given that the base of the triangle is x m, the height is 3m less than twice it's base then the height will be represented by the equation:

(2x-3) m

Thus the area will be:

Area=1/2bh

Area=1/2x(2x-3)=17.5

x^2-1.5x=17.5

Writing the above equation is quadratic form of ax^2+bx+c=0 we get:

x^2-1.5x-17.5=0
