The larger of two numbers is 10 more than three times the smaller number the sum of the two numbers is 54 find the two numbers

x = 11

y = 43

Step-by-step explanation:

x = small number

y = large number

Set up a system of equations:

y = 10 + 3x

x + y = 54

Solve system by substitution:  x + 10 + 3x = 54

                                                  4x + 10 = 54

                                                   4x = 44

                                                    x = 11

x + y = 54

11 + y = 54

y = 54 - 11

y = 43

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

6 meters
