L=

The length of rectangle is 7 cm and width is 2 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Area of rectangle = 14 square centimeters

The length of a rectangle is 3 centimeters less than five times its width.

Let,

L be the length and W be the width of the rectangle.

L = 5W - 3

Area of rectangle = Length * Width

14 = (5W-3)*W

Factorizing the equation;

Either,

5W+7 = 0

5W = -7

W = -7/5

Or,

W-2 = 0

W=2

As width of rectangle cannot be negative, therefore,

Width = 2 centimeters

Length = 5(2) -3 = 10-3 = 7

Hence,

The length of rectangle is 7 cm and width is 2 cm.
