Hello!
Let's write this as an inequality below.
44+2w≤120
First, we subtract 44 from both sides.
2w≤76
We divide both sides by 2.
w ≤ 38
I hope this helps!
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula
... P = 2(L + W)
You want a perimeter that is less than or equal to 120 ft, with L = 22 ft. Fill in these values and write the relation:
... 2(22 ft + W) ≤ 120 ft . . . . an inequality representing what the width must be
... 22 ft + W ≤ 60 ft
... W ≤ 38 ft . . . . . . . . . . . . . the solution to the inequality
The width must be no more than 38 feet.
