Step-by-step explanation:

So, we must find the width of this rectangle such that the Area is

L*W = A

(x+5)(x) = 14............Then Distribute the x inside using the distribute property

x2+5x = 14...........Then subtract 14 such that

x2+5x - 14 = 0.........Then factor such that

(x+7)(x-2) = 0

x = -7, x = 2 inches

Since we cannot have a negative width we use width = 2 inches.
