The difference of twice a number n and 9 is 17.

2n -9 = 17

n = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

2n -9 = 17

Add 9 to each side

2n-9+9 = 17+9

2n = 26

Divide each side by 2

2n/2 =26/2

n =13

step-by-step explanation:

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
