1. One half of a number added to a second number equals 4. One half of the first
number decreased by the second number
equals zero. Find the two numbers.

(4, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

½x + y = 4

y = 4 - ½x

½x - y = 0

½x - (4 - ½x) = 0

½x - 4 + ½x = 0

x = 4

y = 4 - ½(4)

y = 2

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
