When solving the equation, which is the best first step to begin to simplify the equation?

Negative 2 (x + 3) = negative 10
(negative 2) (Negative 2) (x + 3) = negative 10 (negative 2)
Negative one-half (negative 2) (x + 3) = negative 10 (negative one-half)
StartFraction negative 2 over 2 EndFraction (x + 3) = StartFraction negative 10 over 2 EndFraction
StartFraction negative 2 over negative 10 EndFraction (x + 3) = StartFraction negative 10 over negative 10 EndFraction

-2x-6 = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute the -2 to the parentheses.

to further solve:

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

3,750 deer

step-by-step explanation:

1,500 is 15 times larger than 100

lets make 250 15 times larger.
