Answer:

Width = 160

Length = 110

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is the sum of all the sides

They tell you that the length is 50 m shorter than the width

so L = W - 50

W = W

540 = W + W + W-50 + W-50

540 = 2W + 2(W-50)

540 = 2W + 2W - 100

540 = 4W - 100

640 = 4W

W = 160

L = 160 - 50

L = 110

Answer:

Length: 110 m

Width: 160 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W.

We can write the length in terms of width if width is w:

Length: w - 50

Width: w

Plug the values into the formula.

540 = 2(w - 50) + 2w

540 = 2w - 100 + 2w

540 = 4w - 100

640 = 4w

w = 160

find length by subtracting 50 from the width

160-50=110

Therefore, the length is 110 and the width is 160.

_______________

Solve the equation:

$\mathsf{\dfrac{8}{x-5}-\dfrac{9}{x-4}=\dfrac{5}{x^2-9x+20}\qquad\qquad(x\ne 5~and~x\ne 4)}$

Reduce the fractions at the left side so that they have the same denominator:

$\mathsf{\dfrac{8(x-4)}{(x-5)(x-4)}-\dfrac{9(x-5)}{(x-4)(x-5)}=\dfrac{5}{x^2-9x+20}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{8x-32}{x^2-4x-5x+20}-\dfrac{9x-45}{x^2-4x-5x+20}=\dfrac{5}{x^2-9x+20}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{8x-32}{x^2-9x+20}-\dfrac{9x-45}{x^2-9x+20}=\dfrac{5}{x^2-9x+20}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{8x-32-(9x-45)}{x^2-9x+20}=\dfrac{5}{x^2-9x+20}}$

Numerators must be equal:

$\mathsf{8x-32-(9x-45)=5}\\\\
\mathsf{8x-32-9x+45=5}\\\\
\mathsf{8x-9x=5+32-45}\\\\
\mathsf{-x=-8}\\\\
\mathsf{x=8}\quad\longleftarrow\quad\textsf{this is the solution.}$

I hope this helps. =)
