The perimeter is the total of adding all of the sides together. A rectangle has 2 lengths and 2 widths. The equation would be:

P = 2l + 2w or P = l + l + w + w

Since you know the perimeter, you can plug it into the equation

53 = 2l + 2w

You can divide the 2 on both sides

26.5 = l + w

l = w + 2.3 because the length is 2.3 meters longer/more than the width. You can substitute (w + 2.3) for "l" in the equation. So instead of:

26.5 = l + w

It will be:

26.5 = (w + 2.3) + w

26.5 = w + 2.3 + w

Subtract 2.3 on both sides

24.3 = w + w

24.3 = 2w

Divide 2 on both sides

12.1 = w

The width is 12.1 meters

Solve the inequality x divided by 6 is less than or equal to 3
Alja [10]
Your inequality looks like this:
\frac{x}{6}  \leq 3
To get rid of the /6, you need to multiply by 6 as the opposite operation cancels it out. So, all you need to do is multiply both sides by 6 to isolate x. 
Therefore:
x \leq 18
