Answer:

The length is 52 meters and the width is 23 meters.

Explanation:

Let l stand for length, and w stand for width.

l = 2w + 6

The length is 6 more than twice the width.

2l + 2w = 150

Twice the length plus twice the width is the perimeter of a rectangle.

2(2w + 6) + 2w = 150

4w + 12 + 2w = 150

6w + 12 = 150

6w = 138

w = 23

l = 2(23) + 6

l = 46 + 6

l = 52
