If you just factor the original polynomial(The area) then you will find that one of the factors is c-2(the length) and the other will be the width.
When I factored it, I got 2c+3 as the width.

Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 10x+1-1 = 12x-5-1, this becomes a new equation
Equation: 10x = 12x-6
2) 10x-12x = 12x-12x-6, this become a new equation
Equation: -2x = -6
3) Divide both sides by -2: -2x/2 = -6/2
4) Once you simplify, you will get x=3
Hope this helps!
