Twice Brittany’s age is less than the age of Abraham Lincoln when he died. President Lincoln was 56 years old at the time of his death. Write an inequality to represent Brittany’s age, b. Brittany’s brother, Nate, is two years younger than Brittany. Write an equation for Nate’s age, n, in terms of Brittany’s age, b. Rewrite the expression from Part B to get the variable b alone on one side of the equation. (This is also called isolating b.) Substitute the value of b from Part C into the inequality you found in Part A. Solve the inequalities from parts A and D for the variables b and n, respectively. Could Brittany be 27 years old and Nate 26? Why or why not?

2b < 56

n = b - 2

b = n + 2

n < 27

b < 28

No, because the difference between Brittany and Nate's age is 2years

Step-by-step explanation:

A.)

Twice Brittany’s age is less than the age of Abraham Lincoln when he died. President Lincoln was 56 years old at the time of his death

Let Brittany's age = b

Twice Brittany's age = 2 × b = 2b

Lincoln's age = 56

2b < 56

B.)

Nate's age = n

Nate is 2 years younger than brittany who is aged 'b'

n = b - 2

C.) b = n + 2

D.)

If 2b < 56 and b = n + 2

2(n + 2) < 56

2n + 2 < 56

2n < 56 - 2

2n < 54 ; n < 27

2b < 56

b < 56/2

b < 28

No, because the difference between Brittany and Nate's age is 2years

answer: h

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
