Solve the system of equations given below.
-5x = y - 5
-2y = -x -21
a. 
(-1,-23)
b. 
(-1,10)
c. 
(10,-45)
d. 
(10,16)

B

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x = y - 5 (1)

-2y = -x - 21 (2)

Change x to the left hand side of equation (2)

x = 2y - 21 (3)

Multiply (1) by 2 times:

-10x = 2y - 10 (4)

Use (4) - (3)

-10x = 2y - 10

- x = 2y - 21

-11x = -10 + 21

-11 x = 11

x = -1

Apply x = -1 in (1)

-5*(-1) = y - 5

5 = y-5

y = 5+5

y = 10

So x = -1

y = 10

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
