The length of a rectangle is 3 units more than 5 times the width. Write an expression for the area of the rectangle.
(current length of rectangle is 5x+3 and the width is x.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let the width be x.
Then the length is 5x+3.

The area is the product L*W, or x*(5x+3).

Solved.
