Hey there!
Let's first define our goal. Our goal here is to be able to isolate the variable, n, and solve for it by moving everything to the other side. We see that we have two sides of the equation, and by using the property of equality which states that whatever you do to one side you do to the other and the expression remains equal, we can solve this equation.
It looks like the only thing we have on the left side with n is that 6 1/2. In order to get rid of it, we must subtract it from both sides, because the property of equality states you must do the inverse operation.
We have:
n = 12 - 6 1/2
n = 5 1/2
Hope this helps!
40/5 because to find the answer you would divided them
Answer: Yes, she will have enough trim for all four sides of the square, because the perimeter of the square photo (30.98 inches) is less than 32 inches of trim she has.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for calculate the area of a square is:

Where "s" is the lenght of any side of the square.
The formula for calculate the perimeter of a square is:

Where "s" is the lenght of any side of the square.
We know that that the area of the photo is 60 square inches, therefore, we can solve for "s" from the formula
and find its value:

Substituting the value of "s" into the formula
, we get that the perimeter of the photo is:

Therefore, since Alicia has 32 inches of trim and
, we can conclude that she will have enough trim for all four sides of the square.
