Question

Solution:

Inequality:
4. The length of a rectangle is eight more than twice its width. If the length is less than 34, the
what is the width

Answer 1

The width is less than 13

Let the width of the rectangle be represented by w

Therefore, the length will be: 2w + 8

Based on the information given, the inequality to solve the question will be:

2w + 8 < 34

Collect like terms

2w < 34 - 8

2w < 26

Divide both side by 2

2w/2 < 26/2

w < 13

Therefore, the width is less than 13.
