If j(x)=3x+1, find x if j(x)=-11

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

j(x) = 3x + 1

j(x) = -11

Step 2: Substitute and solve for x

-11 = 3x + 1

-12 = 3x

x = -4

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
