Answer

$l= r^2 +5r+1$.

Work Step by Step

Length of the rectangle $=l$. Width of the rectangle $w=r-5$ Area of the rectangle is $A=Length \times width$ Substitute both values. $A=l\times (r-5)$ $A=r^3-24r-5$. Equate both values. $\Rightarrow l\times (r-5)=r^3-24r-5$ Divide both sides by $r-5$. $\Rightarrow l=\frac{r^3-24r-5}{r-5}$ $(r^3-24r-5)\div(r-5)$ Rewrite the expression in standard form. $(r^3+0r^2-24r-5)\div(r-5)$ $\begin{matrix} & r^2 & +5r &+1 ​& & \leftarrow &Quotient\\ &-- &-- &--&--& \\ r-5) &r^3&+0r^2&-24r&-5 & \\ ​& r^3 & -5r^2 & & & \leftarrow &r^2(r-5) \\ & -- & -- & & & \leftarrow &subtract \\ & 0 & +5r^2 & -24r & & \\ & & 5r^2 & -25r & & \leftarrow & 5r(r-5) \\ & & -- & -- & & \leftarrow & subtract \\ & & 0&r &-5& \\ ​& & & r& -5 & \leftarrow & 1(r-5) \\ & & & -- & -- & \leftarrow & subtract \\ & & & 0 & 0 & \leftarrow & Remainder ​\end{matrix}$ The answer is $\Rightarrow Quotient + \frac{Remainder}{Divisor}$ $\Rightarrow r^2 +5r+1+\frac{0}{r-5}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow r^2 +5r+1$.
