The perimeter of a rectangle is 88. The length is five more than twice the width. Find the length and the width.

Answer :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the let be 5+2x and breadth be 2x

Now we have,

Perimeter=2(l+b)

88=2(5+2x+2x)

88=10+8x

8x=78

x=78/8

x=9.75

Again,

length=5+2x=5+9.75=24.5

Breadth=2x=2x9.75=19.5
