2x+2 (x+5)) = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 2 (x+5) = 24

x is represented by the shorter side. Multiply by 2 because of the 2 sides. For the longer side, since it is 5m longer than the shorter side, you have to write (x+5). Multiply by 2 because of the 2 sides. Finally, add them both together since it is the area and set it equal to 24.
