The subject is not San Bernadino valley College.
Let L = length
and h = height
------------------
h = 5L-3
1/2(hL) = 34

Solve for h and L.

can you please do the problem a little more
Answered by DrBob222
Substitute the value of h in the first equation into the second equation as follows:
1/2(5L-3)*L = 34
Now solve for L, then h.
