After a big snow storm, joe and jim decided to shovel driveways for money. jim shoveled 3 less than twice
as many driveways as joe. they shoveled a total of 15 driveways. how many driveways did joe (x) and
jim () each shovel?

Joe shoveled 6

Jim shoveled 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe: x

Jim: 2x - 3

x + 2x - 3 = 15

3x - 3 = 15

3x = 18

x = 6 = How many Joe shoveled

Then lastly, do 15 - 6 which gives you 9 for Jim

25

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
