Answer:
The area is 15 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
So you are going to need two different equations-
l = w(3)
2l + 2w = 40
Insert the first equation into the second-
2(3w) + 2w = 40
Simplify this equation-
6w + 2w = 40
8w = 40
Divide both sides by 5
w = 5
Solve first equation
l = 5(3)
l = 15
Then find the area-
5 x 15 = 75

Step-by-step explanation:
If you use desmos, it show this which is the correct graph :)
Let
x--------> the border’s length
y--------> the border’s width
P--------> perimeter of the border
we know that
x=5+y------> equation 1
P=2*[x+y]-----> P=2x+2y
P <=180 ft
(2x+2y) <= 180-------> equation 2
substitute the equation 1 in equation 2
2*[5+y]+2y <= 180
10+2y+2y <= 180
4y <= 180-10
4y <=170
y <=42.5 ft
so
the maximum value of the width is 42.5 ft
for y=42.5 ft
x=42.5+5------> x=47.5 ft
the answer is
the width of the border is less than or equal to 42.5 ft
