Algebra.Com's Answer #147682 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) You can put this solution on YOUR website! The width of a poster is 8cm less than the length. the perimeter is more than \n" ); document.write( " 184cm. if the measurements are both integers, \n" ); document.write( "find the minimum dimensions of the poster. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Let x = the width \n" ); document.write( "then \n" ); document.write( "(x+8) = the length \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "The perimeter equation \n" ); document.write( "2(x+8) + 2x > 184 \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 2 \n" ); document.write( "x + 8 + x > 92 \n" ); document.write( "2x > 92 - 8 \n" ); document.write( "2x > 84 \n" ); document.write( "x > 84/2 \n" ); document.write( "x > 42 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Make x = 43, then length = 51 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Minimum perimeter 188 which is: 51 by 43 \n" ); document.write( " |
