Answer:
length of a rectangle is 5 more than twice the length. I believe
you mean the length of a rectangle is 5 more than twice the
width.
From the information given we can make two equations,
thus forming a system to solve. We know the perimeter
of a rectangle is 2(length + width) and area = length*width.
length of a rectangle is 5 more then twice the width:
L = 2w + 5
The perimeter is 130:
2(L+w) = 130
L+w = 65
Since we know L=2w+5 we can substitute that into 2nd equation
to solve for w
2w + 5 + w = 65
3w = 60
w = 20
L = 2w+5 = 45
The area is length*width = 20(45) = 900 square units
