What is the value of y in the following system of linear equations
2x+2=y

y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + 2 = y → (1)

2y = 5x - 1 → (2)

Substitute y = 2x + 2 into (2)

2(2x + 2) = 5x - 1

4x + 4 = 5x - 1 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

4 = x - 1 ( add 1 to both sides )

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 into (1) for corresponding value of y

y = (2 × 5) + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12

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
