How to solve this equation
a. 2b + 8 - 5b + 3 = -13 + 8b - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

2b+8-5b+3=-13+8b-5 (combine like terms)

-3b + 11 = -18+8b ( switch sides)

+3b +11 = +18 +8b ( bold switches to other side)

11+18=8b+3b

29 = 11b

(divide each by 11)

b=2.636

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
