Notice how the last term of 5x^2 + 19x + 12 is 12
The constant term of 5x+4 is 4.
Divide: 12/4 = 3
So the constant term in the length must be 3.
-------------------------------------------------------
The first term in the area expression is 5x^2. The first term in the width is 5x. Divide: 5x^2 over 5x = x
So the variable term must be just x.
-------------------------------------------------------
The length is (x+3)
(x+3)*(5x+4) = 5x^2 + 19x + 12

The area of the rectangle is represented by 5x^2 + 19x + 12.
Width=5x + 4
Area = L * W
= L * (5x+4)
l=
length = (x+3)

Do you know how to perform polynomial division?
You have , and ;
if your length is L, then .
Solving the formula for L, you have .
This means A divided by w.
Now, with that discussed, and hopefully understood, if you know polynomial division, then do it. If not, I will help with the polynomial division.
