 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   3x2 - 147  =   3 • (x2 - 49) 

 3.2      Factoring:  x2 - 49 

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A2 - B2  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) =
         A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
         A2 - AB + AB - B2 = 
         A2 - B2

Note :  AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication. 

Note :  - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : 49 is the square of 7
Check :  x2  is the square of  x1 

Factorization is :       (x + 7)  •  (x - 7) 

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
