The area is the product of length times width.  If you know the area and the length, you can find the width by dividing the area by the length.

Divide x+2 into x^2 - 4x - 12.  In your shoes I would use synthetic division, but long division would work fine also.  please show your work; if you do, I'll comment on it.
