If the length of a rectangle is increased by 2cm and the width by 5cm, the area will be increased by 60 square centimeters. It just happens to be a square. What is the original area of this rectangle? Solve by arithmetic I can use equations, too. I don't want to

(60+5*2)÷(5+2)=10
10 is the side length of a square
The area of the original rectangle is equal to 10 * 10-60 = 40 (square centimeter)
