the length of a rectangular playing field is 5 feet less than twice its width. if the perimeter of the playing field is 230 feet find the length and width of the field.

let the width of the rectangular field be=x
the length of the field=2x-5
perimeter of the field=230 ft i.e. p = 2l+2b=2(2x-5)+2x=4x-10+2x=6x-10
6x-10 = 230
6x=230+10=240 i.e. 6x=240 x=240/6=40
width = 40ft length=2.40-5=80-5=75ft
length = 75ft and width = 40ft
