bailey is thinking of a number, when multiplied by 4 and increased by 13 it is 8 less then half the number, what number is bailey thinking of

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

let the num be x

according to question:

4x+13=x/2-8

4x+13=(x-16)/2

(4x+13)2=x-16

8x+26=x-16

8x-x=-26-16

7x=-42

x=-42/7

x=-6

2/5

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
