Answer

The positive values are $0\lt x\leq3.3$.

Work Step by Step

Perimeter is $=x+4.1+4.9+6.4$ The inequality is Perimeter $\leq18.7$ $\Rightarrow x+4.1+4.9+6.4\leq18.7$ Add like terms. $\Rightarrow x+15.4\leq18.7$ Subtract $15.4$ from each side. $\Rightarrow x+15.4-15.4\leq18.7-15.4$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x\leq3.3$ Side must be greater than zero. Hence, the positive values are $0\lt x\leq3.3$.
