Answer:
<em>The area of Marlien's living room is 420 square ft</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Before calculating the real dimensions of Marlien's living room, we must find the value of x.
Given the total shape of the house is a rectangle, then both widths must be equal and both lengths must be equal.
The widths are already written width identical expressions x-2+x, but the lengths are given as different functions of x. Equating both expressions, we have:

Simplifying:
-10 + x - 2 = 2
x = 10 + 2 + 2
x = 14
Since x=14 feet, the dimensions of Marlien's living room are
width=x=14 feet
length=2x+2=30 feet
Thus the area is:
A = 14*30 = 420 square ft
The area of Marlien's living room is 420 square ft

Convert ratio to fraction:
There were 5 / (5 + 2) = 5/7 of fish.
So number of fish = 5/7 * 28
