Solve for u .

-24 = u ÷ 6

u =

u = -144

Step-by-step explanation:

-24 = u ÷ 6

Multiply both side by 6.

-24 × 6 = u ÷ 6 × 6

-144 = u

Verification:-

-24 = -144 ÷ 6

-24 = -24

LHS = RHS

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
