Hi Denominator and anonimnystefy,

The solutions #3156 and #3157 are perfect. Brilliant!

#3158. If the length and breadth of a rectangular room are each increased by 1 meter, then the area of floor is increased by 21 square meters. If the length is increased by 1 meter and the breadth is dereased by 1 meter, then the area is decreased by 5 square meters. Find the perimeter of the floor.
