    Let's represent the length of the rectangle as x and the width as y.

    So always try to make a relationship between the unknowns so you don't have a lot of variables

    Now

    The length of the triangle could be represented by width+7=length in other words y+7=x

    So you could substitute x in the equation of x*y=144

    (Y+7) (y) = 144

    So y^2+7=144

    Y=11.7 x=18.7
