Question

At a large nursery, a border for a rectangular garden is being built. Designers want the border's length to be 5 ft greater than its width. A maximum of 180 ft of fencing is available for the border. Write and solve an inequality that describes possible widths of the garden.

Answer 1

\[2 (2 w+5)\leq 180 \]

Answer 2

L=w+5;
2L+2w=180;
2(w+5)+2w=180;
4w+10=180
W=170/4
W=85/2...
