What is the solution to the equation 1/4x + 2 = - 5/8x - 5?

SOLUTION:

=) 1/4x + 5/8x = -5 -2

=) (2+5)/8x = -7

=) 7/8x = -7

=) x = (-7×8)/7

=) x = -56/7

=) x = -8

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

560
