Let the width = X. The length is twice the width plus 5. So the length must be 2X + 5.

Area = 63 ft squared

X multiplied by 2X + 5
2X squared + 25.
2X squared = 63 - 25

38 2X
square root of 38.
Therefore the width is the square root of 38 divided by 2 and the length is the square root of 38 plus 5.
