Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is at most 80 inches. The length of the rectangle is 25 inches. The inequality 80 - 2w > 50 can be used to find w, the width of the rectangle in inches. Solve the inequality and interpret the solution. How will the solution change in the width must be at least 10 inches and a whole number?

Answer 1

W>10. 80-2w>50 subtract 80 on both sides and then divide by negative two.
