SOLUTION: The perimeter of a rectangular sign is not to exceed 50ft. The length is to be twice the width. What widths will meet these conditions? I think it starts like this: l=2w≤50

-----
Let the width be "w".
Then the length is "2w"
----
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
2(2w + w) <= 50
3w <= 25
---
width <= 25/3 ft
