Answer:
the length is 7 meters and the width is 6 meter
Step-by-step explanation:
1)Make a system of equations...
L=length W=width
2L+2W=26
2W-5=L
2) Substitute 2W-5 for L in the first equation...
2(2W-5)+2W=26
3)Simplify...
6W-10=26
4)Solve for W...
6W=36
W=6 meters
5)Plug 6 back into the first equation to get L...
2L+2(6)=26
2L+12=26
2L=14
L=7 meters
