Answer:
Explanation:
Let W represent the width of the rectangle.
The length of a rectangle is 3 inches longer than it's width. It means that the length of the rectangle is (w + 3) inches
The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
The perimeter of the rectangle is less than 30 inches. It means that
2(w + w + 3) < 30
2(2w+ 3) < 30
Dividing through by 2, it becomes
2w + 3 < 15
2w < 15 - 3
2w < 12
w < 12/2
w < 6
