The length of a rectangle is 9 inches more than the width. The perimeter of the rectangle can be
no more than 63 inches. What is the maximum width?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

54=2(x+9)+2x

Answer 2

Answer:

w ≥ 11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember: at most, is no more than, or is less than or equal to mean to use the ≤ inequality.

length = 9 + w

width = w

P = 2l + 2w

63 ≤ 2(9 + w) + 2w

63 ≤ 18 + 2w + 2w

63 ≤ 18 + 4w

45 ≤ 4w

45/4 ≤w

11.25 ≤ w or w ≥11.25
