You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let DVD is denoted by ..D
Let VHS is denoted by ..V
The condition is for every V the D order must be 3 times or more
We get D..> or = V*3
we can rewrite as below also
V...<..or = D/3..
for both cases ( V&D are positive numbers.)
you can suitably use any of the above inequalities.
