Inequalities?
Jenny wants to utilize a portion of her garden for growing flowers. Being a designer herself, she visualizes a triangular area with different lengths for each side. For this Jenny decides to keep a side of the triangular area 5 feet shorter and the other 4 feet longer than the third side. She also wants to restrict the perimeter of the triangular area to 29 feet, so that it does not cover a huge area of the garden. Determine the length of each side of the triangular area that Jenny has visualized.
This is what I have so far:
29=x+(x-5)+(x+4)
29=3x+(-5+4)
29=3x-1
3x=29+1
3x=30
3x/3=30/3
x=10
Is that correct? Thanks so much for helping:)

that is correct. your equation and answer. so the third side is 10 , and dont forget to find the other two dimensions.
also, this is not an inequality unless Jenny wants her garden to be LESS than 29 feet, and in that case the equation would have to be
29< "your equation" and th answer x<10 but solved the same way of course.
