think of this this way
length = 5x
width = x
perimeter = 276
Its always easier to write down your givens in an equation

5x + x + x + 5x = 276
12x = 276
x = 23

The width is 23 cm
The length is 115 cm

The perimeter of a rectangle is 276 centimeters. It's length is five times its width. What are the dimensions?
