Three more than the product of a number and 9 is equal to 8

The number is 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the number

we know that

The number multiplied by 9 plus 3 must be equal to 8

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

solve for x

subtract 3 both sides

Divide by 9 both sides

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

answer:   b

step-by-step explanation:

x2 = 16

x can not be a negative number because 16 is positive

the only answer would be positive 8
