Question 453896: The perimeter of a swimming pool is 91m. The width is 5m more than half the length of the pool. Find the length and width of the pool. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated I am stumped. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2L + 2W = 91
W = (L/2) + 5
Sub for W in the 1st eqn
2L + 2( (L/2 + 5) = 91
2L + L + 10 = 91
3L = 81
L = 27
W = 18.5
