Rewrite 18m - ( 2 + 3m ) without parentheses.

15m−2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the Negative Sign:

=18m + −1(2 + 3m)

=18m + (−1)(2) + −1(3m)

=18m + −2 + −3m

Combine Like Terms:

=18m + −2 + −3m

=(18m + −3m) + (−2)

=15m + −2

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
