Not enough information to know those two variables.

The expression for your area, x%2B5x%2B6
6x%2B6

You expect some dimensions w and L so that wL=6x%2B6. The three variables could be anything that makes the equation true using positive real numbers.

One way is factorize the area:
6%28x%2B1%29

One dimension could be 6 and the other dimension x+1.
