I’m putting my faith in you guys my course ends tommorow

A

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute 3 to 4x+2 --> 12x + 6 = 8x + 24 - 2x

combind like terms --> 12x + 6 = 6x + 24

subtract 6 from both sides --> 12x +6 -6 = 6x + 24 - 6 --> 12x = 6x + 18

subtract 6x from both sides --> 12x - 6x = 6x -6x +18 --> 6x = 18

divide both sides by 6 to get what x equals --> x = 3

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

to find the total number of combinations, multiply the quantity of each item by each other:

2 pairs of shoes x 3 pairs of shorts = 6 different combinations.
