You can put this solution on YOUR website! The perimeter of a rectangle is 50 m. The width of the rectangle is 5m less than the length. Find the length and width of the rectangle.
--------------------------
Perimeter = 2(L + W)
50 m = 2(L + L-5)
25 = 2L-5
30 = 2L
L = 15 m (length)
W = L-5 = 10 m (width)
