Aroom’s floor is y meters long. it’s width is 5 meters shorter. if the perimeter of the floor is (4y + 1) meters, can you solve for it’s length?

We know that the perimeter of a rectangle is:

(1)

Where:

P is the perimeter

L: it's the long

W: is the width

They tell us that the perimeter is:

(4y + 1)

The long is y

The width is y-5.

Then we can write equation (1) as follows:

The equation can not be solved and, therefore, it is not possible to find the value of "y" with the information provided.

ask the math teacher she or he would know lol.
