How many solutions does the following equation have? 5 (x -3) + 6 = 5x - 9

Infinite Solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x-3)+6=5x-9

5x-15+6=5x-9

5x-9=5x-9

Add 9 to both sides

5x=5x

Divide by 5

x=x

Infinite solutions because any number put in will be right

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
