How would you solve this equation -6x+9y=1?

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation has two variables.  A second equation would be necessary for us to find specific numerical solutions.  However, -6x+9y=1 can be solved for either x or y:  

-6x = -9y + 1, or x = -(-9y + 1)/6, or:

9y = 6x + 1, or y = (6x + 1)/9

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
