You can put this solution on YOUR website! "The length of a rectangle is 5 cm longer than twice the width. If the width of the rectangle is 6 cm, find the area of the figure."
x = width
2x + 5 = length {length is 5 more than twice the width}
Area of a rectangle = length x width
= x(2x + 5)
= 6[2(6) + 5] {problem states width is 6}
= 6(12 + 5) {multiplied 2 by 6}
= 6(17) {added 12 and 5}
