A company builds rectangular shaped storage buildings for home owners at $20 per square foot. Rick wants to have a storage build
ing built on his property but has a budget of $2,000. If he wants the building's length to be 6 feet longer than its width, then which of the inequalities can be used to solve for the width of the building?
First, you find how many total feet Rick can afford. To do this, you do 2000/20 which equals 100. Then, you write your inequality. 100 is less than or equal to 2x+6. Next, you solve your inequality. You subtract 6 on both sides to get 94 equals 2x. To solve this, you divide by 2 on both sides. In this scenario, x stands for the width.
