A farmer has 165 feet of fencing material in which to enclose a rectangular grazing area. He wants the length x to be greater than 50 feet and the width y to be no more than 20 feet. Write a system to represent this situation.
Perimeter of a rectangle:
P = 2l + 2w
We have P = 165 and l = x --> x>50 and width y <= 20. Plug these into the perimeter formula
165 = 2x + 2y where x > 50 and y <= 20
