So here is how you solve the given problem.
Let x be the original width. 
The original length is x + 2.
The new length is (x + 2) + 5 so it is x + 7.
A = L x W
60 = (x + 7) (x)
60 = x2 + 7x
x2 + 7x - 60 = 0
Therefore, x would be equivalent to 5.
Original Area = x (x + 2)
        A = 5 (5 + 2)
       A = 35 ft.
Therefore, the answer would be 35 feet, the third option. Hope this answer helps.

I am assuming that you meant 25ft^2, 35ft^2, and 30ft^2, as I had the same question.  Therefore, the answer is 35 ft^2.

Answer:  The number is:  "2 " .

__________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

__________________________________________

Write the expression; which is an equation, as follows:

__________________________________________

    " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;  in which "x" represents "the number for which we shall                                       solve" .

___________________________________________

Note:  

If the "number" = "x" ;  the "opposite of the number"  =  " -x " ;

___________________________________________

Rewrite as:  " 4x − 12 = -2x " ;

_____________________________________________

    →  Add "12" ; & add "2x" ; to EACH SIDE of the equation:

                     4x − 12 + 12 + 2x = -2x + 12 + 2x ;

          to get:    6x  = 12  ;

____________________________________________________

Now, divide each side of the equation by "6" ;

    to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

____________________________________________________

                        6x / 6  =  12 / 6 ;

                   to get:    x = 2 .

____________________________________________________

Answer:  The number is:  "2 " .

____________________________________________________

Let us check our answer, by plugging in "2" for "x" in our original equation:

_____________________________________________________

       →   " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;

 Let us plug in "2" for "x" ; to see if the equation holds true; that is; if both side of the equation are equal; when "x = 2" ;

       →   " 4(2) − 12 = ?  2(-2) ??

       →    8 − 12 = ?  -4 ? ;

       →    -4 = ? -4 ??  Yes!
