The length of the rectangle is 3m less than 5 times its width.
If width of the rectangle = w m,
Length = 5 x - 3
Now Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 [ length + breadth ]
=> 2 [ ( 5 x - 3 ) + x ] = 102 m................ (given)
=> 5 x - 3 + x = 102/2 = 51 m
=> 6 x - 3 = 51
=> x = 9
Hence Length of the rectangle = 5 x - 3 = 5 (9) - 3 = 42 m ........ Answer
Width = x = 9 m .................... Answer

length of a rectangle is 3m less than 5 times its width
l = 5w - 3
the perimeter of the rectangle is 102m
2l + 2w = 102
l + w = 51
Substitute for l
(5w - 3) + w = 51
6w - 3 = 51
Add 3 to both sides
6w = 54
Divide both sides by 6
w = 9 <–––– width
l = 5w - 3
l = 5(9) - 3
l = 42 <––––– length

l - 3= 5w; l= 5w + 3
p= 2l + 2w= 10w + 6 + 2w= 12w + 6
102= 12w + 6
12w= 96; w= 8 m, l= 43 m
