    Length is 1010, width is 494.

    Let's make the length L and the width w. So, here's what we know:

    L = 2w + 10

    Lw = 1500

    Substitute L in as 2w + 10:

    w (2w + 10) = 1500.

    Simplify.

    2w squared + 10w = 1500

    Make it a quadratic equation, w = 25 or - 30. Since it can't be negative, w = 25.

    1500/25 = 60.

    Length = 60

    Width = 25
