Solve 4(2x - 9) = 3x + 4

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you distribute

4(2x)+4(-9)=3x+4

8x - 36 = 3x + 4

Subtract 3x from both sides

(8x - 3x) - 36 = (3x - 3x) + 4

5x - 36 = 4

Then add 36 to both sides

5x (-36 + 36) = (4 + 36)

5x = 40

Then divide 5 from both sides

x = 8

Hopefully this is correct, sorry if it isn't

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
