2x – 3y = -7 .
2x + 3y = 11
Write your answer as an ordered pair.

( 1 , 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving simultaneously, 2x - 3y = -7

-( 2x + 3y = 11)

then, 2x - 3y = -7

-2x -3y = -11

Now adding the two equations

-6y = -18 y = 3

Now substituting y in one of the equations

2x -3(3) = -7 subtracting -9 from both sides

2x = 2 x = 1

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
