Discussion Topic Systems of equations are bundles of equations that all relate to a common
problem. For instance, combine two equations that each give the distance ly)
that two different cars drive in a given amount of time(x) to form a system of
equations:
y = 60x + 5
y = 40x + 40
One value of x will yield the same value of y in each equation. What does this
solution represent in this situation? Can you think of any other scenarios where
two linked equations could provide a useful answer? How do systems of
equations make problems easier to comprehend?

you need to show the graph

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

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
