A rectangle has a perimeter of 110. The length is five more than twice the width. What is the length and width of the rectangle.
-------------------
P = 2(L + W)
----
110 = 2(2W+5 + W)
--------------------
55 = 3W+5
3W = 50
Width = 16 2/3
----
Length = 2(16 2/3)+5 = 32 4/3 + 5 = 38 1/3
-------------------------
