Solution:

The quotient of the area and length represents the width of the rectangle.

[tex]\Large \tt \green{Width = \frac{Area}{Length}}[/tex]

[tex]\large \tt W = \frac{21x^3+28x^2-14x}{7x}[/tex]

[tex] \large \tt W = \frac{7x(3x^2+4x-2)}{7x}[/tex]

[tex]\large \tt W = \frac{\cancel{7x} (3x^2+4x-2)}{\cancel{7x}}[/tex]

[tex]\Large \bold{\purple{W = 3x^2+4x-2}}[/tex]
