    Width = 26cm

    Length = 47cm

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the width be x cm

    The length will be 2x - 5 cm

    Perimeter is 146cm

    Perimeter is given by (2 * length) + (2 * width)

    2 (x) + 2 (2x - 5) = 146cm

    2x + 4x - 10 = 146

    6x = 146 + 10, x = 156/6 = 26cm

    x (width) = 26 cm

    Length is 2 (26) - 5 = 47cm.
