5 ( y - 4)=7 (2y +1) Can someone help me out by solving for Y Thanks

5 ( y - 4 ) = 7 ( 2y + 1 )

The value of y.

5 ( y - 4 ) = 7 ( 2y + 1 )

or, 5y - 20 = 14y + 7

or, 5y - 14y = 7 + 20

or, -9y = 27

or, y = 27/-9 = -3

The value of y is -3.

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
