Typical rectangle dimensions using perimeter, problem.

w width
L length
2w+2L=750 and "the length exceeds by 5m", must really mean "The length is 5 meters more than THE WIDTH(or breadth)". This would be L=5+w.

Solve the system: 2w+2L=750 AND L=w+5.

Simplify the perimeter equation: w+L=375
Substitute for L: w+(w+5)=375
Solve that for w: 2w+5=375, 2w=370, w=185
Easily find L: L=185+5, L=190.

SUMMARY:
---------------------------
Breadth, w=185 meters
Length, L=190 meters
---------------------------
