Greetings!

Answer:

w² + 5w = Area

Explanation:

The equation for an area of a rectangle is:

Length x Width = area

If w is the width, and length is 5 units longer than the width, then length can be classed as w + 5

Simply multiply these two values to find the area:

w + (w + 5) =

(w * w) + (w * 5)

w² + 5w = area

This is the area formula as no area has been given, nor can this be simplified.


Hope this helps!
