<span>You are given a rectangular picture measuring 8 inches by 7 inches. Also, Alistair wants this to be framed and that the total area is 34 square inches. The width of the frame is x inches. To solve the dimension of the frame with value of x we have:

We have to assume that x here will be equal to all sides of the frame and so, using the area of the rectangle, we can model the equation like this:
A = LW (where A is the area, L is the length and W is the width)
36 = (8 - x)(7 - x)
36 = 56 - 8x - 7x + x</span>²
<span>x</span>² - 15x +20 = 0 → model of our equation and in quadratic form

x² - 15x + 20 = 0
using a calculator, x = 1.48 inches
<span>
3.Use the equation you created in part A to find the width of the picture frame</span>

Calculate- (with work pleasee) i really need it !!<br> -0.2(x-20)=44-x
erica [24]

Answer:

x=50

Step-by-step explanation:

-0.2(x-20)=44-x

Distribute

-0.2x+4=44-x

Add x to each side

-.2x +4+x = 44-x+x

.8x+4 = 44

Subtract 4 from each side

.8x+4-4 = 44-4

.8x = 40

Divide each side by .8

.8x/.8 = 40/.8

x=50
