(I really need help pl) Translate and solve the following equation: Six times the difference of two and twice a number, increased by three times a number is negative fifteen.

6(2 - 2x) + 3x = -15

12 - 12x + 3x = -15

Combine like terms

-9x + 12 = -15

-12             -12

-9x = -17

/-9    /-9

X = 1.88.. *repeated*

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
