Explanation:

length = breadth + 5

the perimeter is a rectangle is

2×length + 2×breadth

in our case

2×length + 2×breadth = 74

so, we use the first equation in the second equation :

2×(breadth + 5) + 2×breadth = 74

2× breadth + 10 + 2× breadth = 74

4×breadth = 64

breadth = 16 m

length = breadth + 5 = 16 + 5 = 21 m
