Answer:

The frame will be 4 inches in width

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the outside is 24+2x

The width of the outside is 20+2x

(24+2x)(20+2x) - 20(24) = 416

480 + 40x + 48x + 4x2 - 480 = 416

4x2 + 88x - 416 = 0

x2 + 22x - 104 = 0

(x+26)(x-4) = 0

x = -26 or x=4

The frame will be 4 inches in width

The interior angles of a triangle have measures 75 degrees,(-5w+125) degrees, and (4w+85) degrees. what is the value of W?
andrew-mc [135]
The sum of the measures of the angles is 180 degrees.
75 + -5w + 125 + 4w + 85 = 180
Combine like terms.
285 - w = 180
Subtract 285 from both sides.
-w = -105
Divide both sides by -1.
w = 105
