The dimensions of the rectangle are: length = 7 cm, width = 5 cm.
_____ It is handy to know your times tables.
___ If you want, you can write a couple of equations and solve them. .. L = 5W -18 .. LW = 35 Substituting for L, we have .. (5W -18)W = 35 .. 5W^2 -18W -35 = 0 . . . . put in standard form .. (W -5)*(5W +7) = 0 . . . . . factor .. W = 5 or -7/5 . . . . . . . . . we are only interested in the positive solution
The width of the rectangle is 5 cm; its length is 7 cm.
