5x+4y=16 -2x-4y=-4
Show your step by step process.
Solve the system of linear equations.​

x=1 and y= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, lets take the first equation and find the x value.

Because it is ordered in standard form, we need to convert to slope-intercept form, and isolate the y.

5x+4y=16

-5x       -5x

4y=-5x+16

÷4   ÷4  ÷4

y=+4

or

y=-1+4

or

y= 5

Now that we have the y value, we can use this to find the x value by inserting it into either equation, since they both have y values in them. Going with the first one again, lets try it:

5x+4(+4)=16

5x-5+16=16

5x+11=16

    -11 -11

5x=5

÷5 ÷5

x=1 and y= 5

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
