L=2W+5 or length is equal to 5 more than 2 times the width.
so back to the original equation at the top
you know now what L equals, look at the second equation
so substitute the second equation where ever you see an L
Like this (2w+5) +w+(2w+5)+w=100
Now collect like terms
6w+10=100
Subtract 10 from both sides
6w=90
divide both sides by 6
w=15
So the width is 15
so now go back to the original equation at the top.
What is w? Well you know that w=15
So… L+15+L+15=100
Again collect like terms
2L+30=100
Subtract 30 from both sides
2L=70
Divide both sides by 2
and L=35
So L=35 and w=15
the check is
35+15+35+15=100
100=100
It works

4x=90
x= 22.5
so the length is 27.5 and the width is 22.5
