Question 186840: The length of a rectangle is 3 more than twice the width. If the perimeter is to be at least 51 meters, what are the possible values for the width? (If the perimeter is at least 51 meteres, than it is greater than or equal to 51 meters.)

The perimeter of a rectangle = 2( l +w)
Here l = w+3, pluging in that we get p = 2( w+3 + w) = 2(2w+3)
The given condition is p >= 51
That is 2(2w + 3) ≥ 51
4w + 6 ≥ 51 adding – 6 on both sides we get
4w ≥ 51- 6
4w ≥ 45
Dividing both sides by 4 we get
w ≥ 45/4
w≥ 11.25 . So the width must be at least 11.25 meters
