Solve. Show all steps. 0.5 (8-2x)= 3-(x - 1 )

NRS

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5(8-2x)=3-(x-1) Set up problem

4-1x         =3-x-1 Distribute

4-1x         =2-x Combine like terms

 +x               +x Add x to both sides to isolate x

4              =2 4 does not equal 2, so there are NRS.

a. is correct

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
