well
length will be:
(27+3x)m
width will be
(25+ x)m
so what question says is
area of large lawn = 2x area of small lawn
(27+3x)(25+x) = 2(27 x 25)
675 + 27x + 75x + 3x^2 = 1350
3x^2 + 102x - 675 = 0
now divide both sides by 3
(3x^2 + 102x + 675)/3 = 0/3
x^2 + 34x + 225 = 0

hope it helps :)
I got it till 3x^2+102x - 675 but y dividing by three ?
Btw thnx !
