The formula for perimeter is 2l+2w. Since we know that l=w-5, we can substitute this into the original equation.

2(w-5)+2w=80

2w-10+2w=80

4w=90

w=22.5 meters

Hope that helps!

Find two numbers for which the sum is 101 and the difference is 47
ANEK [815]

Answer:

74 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

let x and y be the numbers

x + y =101........eqn 1

x - y = 47.......eqn 2

solve simultaneously

from equation 2, make x the subject

x= 47 + y........eqn 3

put eqn 3 into eqn 1

(47+y) + y = 101

47 + 2y = 101

       2y= 101 - 47

       2y=54

         y= 54/2

         y= 27

put y=27 into eqn 3

x = 47 + 27

x = 74
