Using a system of equations, the translated expression is:

P - 32.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variable is the number of dollars Paul owes, which is P. That amount minus 32 is represented by:

P - 32.

Annie is framing a photo with a length of 6 inches and a width of 4 inches. The distance from the edge of the photo to the edge

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Part a) The quadratic function is $4x^{2} +20x-39=0$

Part b) The value of x is $1.5\ in$

Part c) The photo and frame together are $7\ in$ wide

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Write a quadratic function to find the distance from the edge of the photo to the edge of the frame

Let

x----> the distance from the edge of the photo to the edge of the frame

we know that

$(6+2x)(4+2x)=63\\24+12x+8x+4x^{2}=63\\ 4x^{2} +20x+24-63=0\\4x^{2} +20x-39=0$

Part b) What is the value of x?

Solve the quadratic equation $4x^{2} +20x-39=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem

we have

$4x^{2} +20x-39=0$

$a=4\\b=20\\c=-39$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-20(+/-)\sqrt{20^{2}-4(4)(-39)}} {2(4)}$

$x=\frac{-20(+/-)\sqrt{1,024}} {8}$

$x=\frac{-20(+/-)32} {8}$

$x=\frac{-20(+)32} {8}=1.5\ in$ -----> the solution

$x=\frac{-20(-)32} {8}=-6.5\ in$

Part c) How wide are the photo and frame together?

$(4+2x)=4+2(1.5)=7\ in$
