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