Yes your doing a great job! Now is all you need to do is find w.
300>250+2w
subtract 250 from both sides;
300-250>2w
50>2w
Now divide each side by 2;
>
25>w
=)

It's almost right
"no greater than" is another way of saying "less than or equal to"
the perimeter = 2l + 2w
2l + 2w <= 300
w = 125
2l + 2(125) <= 300
2l + 250 <= 300 (this is close to what you got)
subtract 250 from both sides
2l <= 50
l <= 25
