Let's denote the length of the pool as L and the breadth as B.

According to the given information, the perimeter of the rectangular swimming pool is 154m. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:


\displaystyle\sf P = 2(L + B)

Substituting the given value of the perimeter, we have:


\displaystyle\sf 154 = 2(L + B)

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we get:


\displaystyle\sf 77 = L + B

We are also given that the length of the pool is 2m more than twice its breadth. Mathematically, we can express this as:


\displaystyle\sf L = 2B + 2

Now we can substitute this value of L in terms of B into the equation we obtained earlier:


\displaystyle\sf 77 = (2B + 2) + B

Simplifying the equation, we have:


\displaystyle\sf 77 = 3B + 2

Subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation, we get:


\displaystyle\sf 75 = 3B

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we obtain:


\displaystyle\sf B = 25

Now we can substitute this value of B into the equation for L:


\displaystyle\sf L = 2(25) + 2

Simplifying the equation, we have:


\displaystyle\sf L = 52

Therefore, the length of the pool is 52m and the breadth is 25m.

Using the transpose method, we can rearrange the equation
\displaystyle\sf 77 = L + B to solve for L:


\displaystyle\sf L = 77 - B

Then, substituting this expression for L in the equation
\displaystyle\sf L = 2B + 2, we have:


\displaystyle\sf 77 - B = 2B + 2

Adding B to both sides of the equation, we get:


\displaystyle\sf 77 = 3B + 2

Subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation, we obtain:


\displaystyle\sf 75 = 3B

Finally, dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we find:


\displaystyle\sf B = 25

By substituting this value of B back into the equation
\displaystyle\sf L = 77 - B, we get:


\displaystyle\sf L = 77 - 25 = 52

Hence, the length of the pool is 52m and the breadth is 25m.
