Adam is building a rectangular swimming pool. The perimeter of the pool must be no more than 120 feet. If the length of the pool is 22 feet, write and solve an inequality that represents what the width of the pool must be.

Answer 1

Let's let the width of the pool be represented by the variable "w".
The perimeter of the pool can be calculated as P = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is the width.
Substituting the given values: 120 = 2(22) + 2w
Simplifying: 120 = 44 + 2w
Subtracting 44 from both sides: 76 = 2w
Dividing both sides by 2: 38 = w
Therefore, the width of the pool must be no more than 38 feet.
