Let w be the width
so we can say that since its length is 5m more than twice its width… then length=2w+5
the formula for the perimeter is 2w+2l, so
2w+2l=106
2(w)+2(2w+5)=106 ===> divide the whole equation by 2 and we get
w+2w+5=53
3w+5=53
3w=48
w=16
so the length would be 2(16)+5 or 37
length=37
width=16

Let the width be x m. so the length will be 2x+5 m, so
x+x+2x+5+2x+5 = 106, so
6x+10 = 106, so
6x = 96, so
x = 16.
The width of the rectangle is 16m. an the length is 37m.
Hope this helps, Twiggy.
