    Perimeter of Rectangle = 2(Length + Width)

    Where Perimeter = 220 m
    Width = w
    Length = 2w-40
    Putting the values in the equation you will get

    220 = 2((2w-40)+w)
    220 = 2(2w-40+w)
    220 = 2(3w-40)
    220 = 6w - 80
    6w - 80 = 220
    Adding 80 on both sides you will get

    6w = 220+80
    6w = 300

    Dividing 6 on both sides you will get
    6/6w = 300/6
    w = 50

    So width = 50m
    Length = 2(50)-40
    =100-40
    = 60m

    Length = 60 m
    Width = 50 m
    perimeter = 220m
