Answer: Length = (15x + 20) / 5

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is calculated as length × width. Since the area of the rectangle is expressed as (15x + 20) square feet while the width of the rectangle is 5 feet, then the expression to represent the length of the rectangle will be:

Area = length × width

(15x + 20) = length × 5

Length = (15x + 20) / 5

Therefore, the expression is Length = (15x + 20) / 5.

Solving further, the length will be:

= (15x + 20) / 5

= 3x + 4
