What is the solution to the system of equations?

(2, - 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + 2y = - 6 → (1)

3x + y = 2 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the term in y

- 6x - 2y = - 4 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

- 5x = - 10 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

2 + 2y = - 6 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2y = - 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = - 4

Solution is (2, - 4 )

25.2

step-by-step explanation:

2+4x6-8/10= 25.2

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
