The perimeter of a rectangle is 24 m. The length is 30 m less than five times the width. Find the dimensions of the rectangle. List answer as follows: width, length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

where

l is the length

w is the width

From the question

Perimeter = 24m

The statement

The length is 30 m less than five times the width is written as

l = 5w - 30

Substitute the expression into the above formula and solve for the width

That's

24 = 2( 5w - 30) + 2w

24 = 10w - 60 + 2w

84 = 12w

Divide both sides by 12

w = 7

Substitute this value into l = 5w - 30

That's

l = 5(7) - 30

l = 35 - 30

l = 5

Therefore the dimensions are

width = 7 m

length = 5 m
