Let width be x
\n" ); document.write( "Let length be y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = 4x-5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P = 2(width) + 2(length) or P=2x + 2y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P = 2x + 2y
\n" ); document.write( "150 = 2x + 2(4x-5)
\n" ); document.write( "150 = 2x + 8x - 10
\n" ); document.write( "150 = 10x - 10
\n" ); document.write( "160 = 10x
\n" ); document.write( "16 = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = 4x-5 = 4(16) - 5 = 59\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Final Answer:
\n" ); document.write( "Width = 16 m
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 59 m\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
