Factor 2x2 - 10x - 12.
2(x + 2)(x - 3)
o2(x - 1)(x + 6)
o2(x - 5)(x + 1)

16

step-by-step explanation:

2×2 - 10x - 12 =

10x = 12 - (2×2)

10x = 12+4

10x = 16

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
