    Step-by-step explanation:

    Width = x

    Length = 2x+5

    Area = length * breadth

    42=x (2x+5)

    42=2x^2+5x

    0=2x^2+5x-42

    Solve for X.

    The positive value is the answer because the length cannot be a negative value.

    Then substitute the x value to get the length and the breadth.
