You can put this solution on YOUR website!
L for length
w for width
L=8+2w and 2w+2L=91

You can choose substitution or elimination. As described and then put into symbolism, this is ready for substitution.

2w%2B2%288%2B2w%29=91
2w%2B16%2B4w=91
6w%2B16=91
6w=85
highlight%28w=85%2F6=14%261%2F6%29

L=2w%2B8
L=85%2F3%2B8
L=%2885%2B24%29%2F3
highlight%28L=109%2F3=36%261%2F3%29

Width:   highlight_green%28highlight_green%2812.5%29%29 m	

Length:  highlight_green%28highlight_green%2833%29%29 m

You can do the check!!
