Form a quadratic equation in x to represent the information and find the value of x.

Let $x$ be the original number of women.
The total amount to be contributed is Sh. 1200.
The original contribution per woman would be $\frac{1200}{x}$.
5 women were unable to contribute, so the number of contributing women became $x-5$.
The new contribution per woman is $\frac{1200}{x-5}$.
The problem states that the remaining women contributed Sh. 20 more each.

The quadratic equation is $\boxed{x^2 - 5x - 300 = 0}$.

We need two numbers that multiply to -300 and add to -5. These numbers are -20 and 15.

Since $x$ represents the number of women, it must be a positive value.
Therefore, $x = 20$.
The value of $x$ is $\boxed{20}$.

The original number of women was $x = 20$.
5 women were unable to contribute, so the number of contributing women is $x - 5$.
Number of contributing women $= 20 - 5 = 15$ women.

The total amount contributed was Sh. 1200.
Amount each contributed $= \frac{\text{Total amount}}{\text{Number of contributing women}}$
Amount each contributed $= \frac{1200}{15} = 80$ Shillings.

The number of women that contributed the money is $\boxed{15}$ and the amount each contributed is $\boxed{\text{Sh. } 80}$.

Write an expression for the area of a triangular ranch in terms of $x$.

Base $= (x+14)$ km
Height $= (x-2)$ km

The expression for the area is $\boxed{\frac{1}{2}x^2 + 6x - 14 \text{ km}^2}$.
