A rectangle’s length is 5 inches more than twice its width. Its area is 50 square inches. Which equation can be used to find its width, w ?

The width is w, and the length is twice the width plus 5, or 2w + 5. A rectangle’s area is width times length, so the equation is w(2w + 5) = 50. This matches the choice stating w times (2w + 5) equals 50.
