Question

A large swimming pool has a perimeter of 1,028 meters, this rectangular-shaped pool is 40 meters longer than 5 times its width. Find its dimensions.
width m
length m
L = 5W + 40

2L + 2W = 1028

Substitute 5W+40 for L in the second equation and solve for W. Insert that value into the first equation to solve for L. Check by putting both values into the second equation.
Doesnt make sense
