In a city, the distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station. the distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles. how far apart are the police station and the fire station?

4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between the police station and the fire station be x

Now we are given that the distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station.

So, distance between the library and the police station =

Now we are given that The distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles

So,

Hence the police station and the fire station are 4 miles apart.

2 and 1.

step-by-step explanation:

plug in each answer. 0 doesn't work, 1 does. so does 2. 4 doesn't:

0 = 1 is not true.

2 = 2 is true.

4 = 4 is true.

8 = 16 is not true.

hope this !

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
