Solve the equation and check
-3(4y-7)-y=-2(y-2)

The value of y in the given equation -3(4y-7)-y=-2(y-2) is

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is -3(4y-7)-y=-2(y-2)

To solve the given equation as below :

-3(4y-7)-y=-2(y-2)

-12y+21-y=-2y+4 ( by using the distributive property )

-13y+21=-2y+4

-13y+21+2y-4=0 ( here adding the like terms )

-11y+17=0

-11y=-17

11y=17

Therefore

The value of y in the given equation -3(4y-7)-y=-2(y-2) is

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
