Draw and label a rectangle whose area is represented by the following expression; (x+1) (x+5). Then write an equivalent expression in expanded form.

I have absolutly no clue how to do that. :/

label the width x + 1
label the length x + 5
then
area = (x+1)(x+5)
which is
x^2 + 6 x + 5
(x+1) and (x+5)
x+1+x+5 = 180
2x+6 = 180
2x=180 - 6
2x=174
x=174/2
x= 87
