If the length is 5 more than double the width, then if the width is ‘x’ the equation to represent length would be 2x + 5

The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is just all the sides added together.

Knowing that info, solve for x, then plug the answer you get (15) back into the equations to get your final answer
