3x-9y=-7 ; 2y-6x=8 elimination

x=-29/24

y=3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-9y= -7 ---A

2y-6x= 8B

multiply eq A by 2

6x-18y=-14

-6x+2y=8

Add both equations, so you eliminate x since 6x+(-6x) = 0

-18y+2y= -16y

-14+8=-6

so you have

-16y=-6

y=3/8

now substitute this back to eq B, (you can use eq A as well if you like)

2(3/8)-6x=8

3/4-6x=8

-6x=29/4

x=-29/24

answer: 2530

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
