The question is not perfectly clear, but I assume you're asking something like this:

in a rectangle, the area is given by
A=wl

where A is the area, w is the width and l is the length.

So, if we know that the width is 7 and we let x be the length of the rectangle, we have


A=7x

If you need to solve this for x, divide both sides by 7:


x=(A)/(7)
