Let the width of the frame = x
Let the cost of a linear foot of the frame = y
Let the inside dimension of the length of the frame = a
Let the inside dimension of the width of the frame = b.
The total length of the frame = 2*a + 4x
The total width of the frame = 2b
The total amount of the frame in feet is (2a + 4x + 2b)*y = Cost

Answer:
A debt means subtracting from the original value so a debt of $300 can be expressed as -300.
x - y = 14
given the ratio x : y = 5 : 3
then let x = 5x and y = 3x, hence equation can be expressed as
5x + 3x = 56
8x = 56 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 7
Hence x = 5 × 7 = 35 and y = 3 × 7 = 21
Thus x - y = 35 - 21 = 14
