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

8) The perimeter of a rectangle is 20x2 + xy - 7y2 and one of it's sides is
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

3x^2 + 3xy/2 - 7xy^2/2

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know the perimeter is 20x^2 + xy - 7y^2,

To find any perimeter you need 2l + 2w = P so,

One of the sides is 7x^2 - xy

First plug in the values,

2(7x^2-xy) + 2w = 20x^2 + xy - 7y^2

Multiply,

14x^2-2xy + 2w = 20x^2 + xy - 7y^2

Subtract,

14x^2 - 2xy - 14x^2 + 2xy + 2w = 20x^2 + xy - 7y^2 - 14x^2 + 2xy

2w = 6x^2 + 3xy - 7y^2

w = 3x^2 + 3xy/2 - 7xy^2/2
