Dimensions of a Rectangular Fountain

Maria wants to create a rectangular fountain in her garden. The length of the fountain will be 5 feet longer than its width. If the total area of the fountain is 60 square feet, what will be the dimensions of the fountain?

Let the width be represented by $w$ feet. Then, the length can be expressed as $l = w + 5$ feet. The area of a rectangle is calculated by the formula $Area = length imes width$, which can be written as:

$$60 = (w + 5) imes w$$
