Answer:

The rectangle dimensions are 6 by 7 meters.

Explanation:

I think you meant the following: "The length of a rectangle is five less than twice its width and the perimeter is 26 m. Find the dimenions of the rectangle.

P = 26 m = 2L + 2W. This becomes:

26 m = 2(2W - 5) + 2W, or 26 m = 4W - 10 + 2W.

Then, 36m = 6W, so that W = 6 m. The length is L = 2(6 m) - 5 m, or L = 7 m.

The rectangle dimensions are 6 by 7 meters.
