The length of a rectangle is 3 times the width. If the perimeter is to be at least 48 meters, what are the possible values for the width? [Hint: If the perimeter is at least 48 meters, then it is greater than or equal to 48 meters.] (Let x be the width and enter a solved inequality involving x.)
***
let x=width
3x=length
2*width+2*length=perimeter
2x+2*3x≥48
8x≥48
x≥6
