Is the statement 2(3+5x)=6+5x always true?

No

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3+5x) = 6+5x

or, 6+10x = 6+5x

or, 10x = 5x

or, 2x = x ( only true for x = 0 )

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
