Area = Length * Width = l * w
l = x + 2
w = 2x - 5
Area = (x + 2)(2x - 5) = 56
Area = 2x^2 -x - 10 = 56
Area = 2x^2 - x - 66 = 0 Now you have to factor this thing.
Area = (2x + 11)( x - 6) = 0 This is more or less done by guessing.
2x + 11 = 0 can't work. x would be negative.
x - 6 = 0
x = 6.
Check
=====
l = x + 2
l = 6 + 2
l = 8
w = 2*x - 5
w = 2*6 - 5
w = 12 - 5
w = 7
l*w = 8*7 = 56. It checks.

Step-by-step explanation:
Here's a method of finding the area of any polygon knowing its vertices. I'm using this parallelogram as an example.
Make a table like this (each vertex with its x- and y-coordinates):
Pt x y
A 3 6
B 6 5
C 5 1
D 2 2
A 3 6
Now multiply each x-coordinate by the y-coordinate on the line below and write it on the right side. Bold type shows the first multiplication.
x y
A 3 6
B 6 5 15
C 5 1 6
D 2 2 10
A 3 6 12
Now multiply each y-coordinate by the x-coordinate on the line below and subtract from each produce you already have. Do each subtraction. Bold type shows the first multiplication.
x y
A 3 6
B 6 5 15 - 36 = -21
C 5 1 6 - 25 = -19
D 2 2 10 - 2 = 8
A 3 6 12 - 6 = 6
Add all the differences.
x y
A 3 6
B 6 5 15 - 36 = -21
C 5 1 6 - 25 = -19
D 2 2 10 - 2 = 8
A 3 6 12 - 6 = 6
+____
-26
The area of the polygon is the absolute value of half of the sum of the differences.
area = |-26/2| = |-13| = 13
