Answer:

The length is 5 times the width

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

W ----> the width of the rectangle

L ----> the length of the rectangle

we know that

The area of rectangle is equal to

[tex]A=LW[/tex]

In this problem we have

[tex]L=5x[/tex] ----> equation A

[tex]W=x[/tex] ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

[tex]L=5W[/tex]

therefore

The length is 5 times the width
