The original area of the rectangle is 35ft^{2}

<u>Explanation:</u>

width = x

length = x + 2

area of the rectangle = x (x+2)

length = x + 2 + 5 = x+7

60 = (x+7) (x)\\60=x^{2} + 7x\\x^{2}  + 7x - 60 =0\\

Solving this equation, we get

x =5ft

So, original  width = 5ft

original length = 5+2ft = 7ft

Thus, original area of the rectangle = 5 X 7ft = 35ft^{2}

Therefore, the original area of the rectangle is 35ft^{2}
