I have no idea what I am doing! Please help??

Solve the problem by writing an inequality.
If the perimeter is of a rectangular picture frame must be less than 180 in., and the width is 26 in., in what must the height h of the frame be?
*Must show work*

Answer 1

Perimeter (P) is 2 times the sum of width (W) and height (H): P=2(W+H) The problem states that perimeter is less than 180 (P<180) and width is 26 (W=26) Now you can rewrite yor equation like: 2(26 + H)=P<180 then 2(26+H)<180
2(26+H)<180 means 26+H<90 and that also means that H<90-26=64 then height must be less than 64 inches
