Question 63878: The perimeter of a rectangle is to be no greater than 300 in., and the length must be 125 in. Find the maximum width of the rectangle.

Since the perimeter is not more than 300in:
Perimeter <=300
Using the formula for a perimeter: P=2(length+width), plug-in the values
2(lenth+width)<=300 inches
2(125+w)<=300 [solve for w]
250+2w<=300
2w<=300-250
2w<=50
w<=25 [any width larger or greater than 25 will not work]
.
checking:
2(125+50)<=300
2(175)<=300
300<=300 [checks out]
.
