Solve 3y^{2} - (y + 2) (y - 2)

3y^2 - (y + 2) (y - 2) = 0

<=> 3y^2 - (y^2 - 4) = 0

<=> 2y^2 + 4 =0

<=>y^2 + 2 = 0

=> Because y^2 is always equal or larger than 0, there is no real solution.

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

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
