Which of these strategies would eliminate a variable in the system of equations? ( 10x + 4y = -2)
(5x-2y=2)
Choose all answers that apply:
Multiply the top equation by
then add the equations.
Multiply the bottom equation by 2. then subtract the bottom equation from the top equation.

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
