Faith filled her candy bowl with candy and then ate half of it over the next week and afterwards gave five peices to Loudes. The situation can be exspressed using the equation y=1/2x-5. What does the x represent? What does the y represent? What is the significance of the -5? What does the 1/2x represent?

step-by-step explanation:

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
