let length be x m
\n" ); document.write( "width = x/2 +5 m
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(l+w)
\n" ); document.write( "2*(x+x/2+5)= 91
\n" ); document.write( "2x+x+10=91
\n" ); document.write( "3x+10=91
\n" ); document.write( "-10
\n" ); document.write( "3x=91-10
\n" ); document.write( "3x=81
\n" ); document.write( "/3
\n" ); document.write( "x=27 m ... the length
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "width = x/2 +5
\n" ); document.write( "=27/2 + 5
\n" ); document.write( "=13.5 +5
\n" ); document.write( "=18.5 m the width
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "CHECK
\n" ); document.write( "2*(18.5+27)=91
\n" ); document.write( "...
