    11 units

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's do it this way:

    Length = l

    width = w

    initial equation for area is l * w

    We know that l = w+5

    substitute.

    w+5 * w = 36

    solve.

    6w = 36

    w=6

    The width is 6 units.

    6+5 = 11

    length = 11 units
