Let the width be w; then the length is w+2.

The words say that multiplying the width by 7 and adding 2 gives the same number as multiplying the length by 5.

(1) Using w and w+2 for the width and length, write the expressions for "two more than 7 times the width" and "5 times the length"; then
(2) write and solve the equation that says those two numbers are the same.
