The length of a rectangle is 3 inches longer than it's width. The perimeter of the rectangle is less than 30 inches. Write and solve an inequality to find the width of the rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W represent the width of the rectangle.

The length of a rectangle is 3 inches longer than it's width. It means that the length of the rectangle is (w + 3) inches

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2 (length + width)

The perimeter of the rectangle is less than 30 inches. It means that

2 (w + w + 3) < 30

2 (2w + 3) < 30

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

2w + 3 < 15

2w < 15 - 3

2w < 12

w < 12/2

w < 6
