Answer:

An equation to model the situation is 18+2x=24 and the width of the border is 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :A painting is 18 inches wide. It is placed inside a frame with a border that is x inches wide.

The total width of the painting and the frame is 24 inches.

To Find : Create an equation to model the situation, and then solve the equation to find the width of the border.

Solution :

Width of painting = 18 inches

It is placed inside a frame with a border that is x inches wide. (from 1 side)

So, Total width of painting +frame  = 18+2x

We are given that The total width of the painting and the frame is 24 inches.

So, equation becomes : 18+2x=24

18+2x=24

2x=6

x=3

Hence an equation to model the situation is 18+2x=24 and the width of the border is 3 inches

M + t + w = 19
t = 2m
w = 2m - 6

now we sub
m + (2m) + (2m - 6) = 19...combine like terms
5m - 6 = 19
5m = 19 + 6
5m = 25
m = 25/5
m = 5 <== she sold 5 books on Monday

t = 2m......t = 2(5)...t = 10 <== she sold 10 books on Tuesday
w = 2m - 6....w = 2(5) - 6....w = 10 - 6...w = 4 <== she sold 4 books on Wednesday.
