Answer:Width
= 10 meters
Length
= 15 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Width =
x
Length =
2
x
−
5
Perimeter =
50
Perimeter
=
2
×
length
+
2
×
width
Substitute:
50
=
2
(
2
x
−
5
)
+
2
(
x
)
Simplify:
50
=
4
x
−
10
+
2
x
50
=
6
x
−
10 60
=
6
x
=
10
Substitute (FINALLY)
Width:
x
=
10
So width = 10 meters
Length:
2
x
−
5
=
2
(
10
)
−
5 =
20
−
5
=
15
So length = 15 meters
