    P = 2 (L + W)

    L = W + 5

    A = 4P + 2

    P = 2 (W + 5 + W)

    P = 2 (2W + 5)

    P = 4W + 10

    A = 4P + 2

    A = 4 (4W + 10) + 2

    A = 16W + 42

    A = L * W

    A = W (W + 5)

    A = W^2 + 5W

    W^2 + 5W = 16W + 42

    W^2 + 5W - 16W - 42 = 0

    W^2 - 11W - 42 = 0

    (W + 3) (W - 14) = 0

    W - 14 = 0

    W = 14 <==

    L = W + 5

    L = 14 + 5

    L = 19 <==

    P = 2 (19 + 14)

    P = 2 (33)

    P = 66

    A = L * W

    A = 19 * 14

    A = 266

    answer : length = 19, width = 14 ... perimeter = 66 ... area = 266
