Problema Solution

you want to make a rectangluar banner that is 18 feet long. you have no more than 48 feet of trim for the banner. what are the possible widths of the banner

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'w' be the width of the banner


2*18 + 2*w <= 48


36 + 2w <= 48


2w <= 48 - 36


2w <= 12


w <= 12/2


w <= 6


so the banner’s width must be 6 feet or less.
