Answer:

7 x 12

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]a=l *w[/tex]

[tex]84=l*w\\w=l+5\\[/tex]

these equations we know, so we can use them like this

[tex]84=l*(l+5)\\84=l^2 +5l\\[/tex]

I then plugged this equation into the desmos calculator to get the answer

[tex]l=7[/tex]

we then plug this into a previous equation

[tex]w=l+5\\w=7+5\\w=12[/tex]

to get our answer l=7, w=12
