Question

The length of a rectangle is 8 mm longer than its width. Its perimeter is more than 36 mm. Let w equal the width of the rectangle. Write an inequality to model this information. A) w+ (w+8)>36 B)2(w+8)+2w>36 C)2(w+8)+2w<36 D)(w+8)+w<36 Fan and Medal

If the perimeter formula is this:
$$P = 2L + 2W$$
And, our givens are:
$$L = W + 8$$
$$2L+2W>36$$
What's our inequality?

Can you connect the dots? @RussianBoss1          Hint: Substitute L

Really? @RussianBoss1


BIG HINT:

$$~~~L = (W + 8)$$$$~~\downarrow$$$$~2L+2W>36$$$$~~\downarrow$$$$2(?) + 2W > 36$$
