Your question doesn't make any sense to me.
What do you mean by
its area must be 204 and 750 square feet, inclusively?

perimeter = 2(width+length)
length = width+5
a = w(w+5)
so, given the limits on the area,
204 <= w(w+5) <= 750
if w(w+5) >= 204,
w^2 + 5w - 204 >= 0
w>=12
if w(w+5) <= 750
w^2+5w-750 <= 0
w<=25
so, 12 <= w <= 25
length = width+5
a = w(w+5)
so, given the limits on the area,
204 <= w(w+5) <= 750
if w(w+5) >= 204,
w^2 + 5w - 204 >= 0
w>=12
if w(w+5) <= 750
w^2+5w-750 <= 0
w<=25
so, 12 <= w <= 25
