5x - y = -7
X + y = -5

x = -2

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - y = -7

x + y = -5

6x = -12

x = -2

x + y = -5

-2 + y = -5

y = -5 + 2

y = -3

(-2,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = -5

y = -x - 5

5x - (-x - 5) = -7

5x + x + 5 = -7

6x = -12

x = -2

x + y = -5

-2 + y = -5

y = -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
