Wayne is hanging a string of lights 45 feet long around the 3 sides of his rectangular patio, which is adjacent to his house. The length of his patio, the side along the house, is 5 feet longer than 2 times its width. Find the length and width of the patio.

45=2w+L and L=2w+5          

45=2w+L                                  45=2w+(2w+5)

                                                45=4w+5

                                                40=4w

                                                10=w                  

L=2w+5                                    L=2(10)+5

                                                L=20+5

                                                L=25                        

The length of the patio is 25 feet and the width of one side of the patio is 10 feet. Because there are two width sides and one length side, this all adds up to be 45 feet long.
