Question

Elouise is creating a rectangular garden in her backyard. The length of the garden is 12 feet. The perimeter of the garden must be at least 36 feet and no more than 48 feet. Use a compound inequality to find the range of values for the width of the garden.

Answer 1

Answer:

Width <= 12

Width >= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

36 <= 2(12) + 2x <= 48

36 <= 24 + 2x

36 - 24 <= 2x

12/2 <= x

x >= 6

24 + 2x <= 48

2x <= 48 - 24

x <= 24/2

x <= 12
