Question 1077147: The dimensions of certain computer screen are such that its length is 5 inches more than its width. if the length is increased by 1 inch while the width remains the same, the area is increased by 17 square inches. what are the dimensions of the original computer screen.

Let w be the width of the screen. Then the length is w+5. So:
w(w+5)+17=w(w+6)
w²+5w+17=w²+6w
w=17
l=22
The original length and width are 22" x 17", respectively. ☺☺☺☺
