The correct answer is Sometimes
Answer:
Ok so the area of the frame is 18*12 = 216cm^2
Let’s suppose the width of the frame is x
The total area (painting and frame) is (2x+18)(2x+12) and this is equal to 432
4x^2 + 60x + 216 = 432
4x^2 + 60x - 216 = 0
x^2 + 15x - 54 = 0
(x+18)(x-3) = 0
Therefore x = {-18,3}
Since width of the frame has to be positive, the width has to be 3cm Step-

Prime factorization is when the numbers are divided until they cannot be divided anymore.
For example, the number 18.
18/2 = 9
9/3 = 3
So the prime factorization is 2,3,3
As it says use exponents: There are 2 threes. 3 x 3 is the same as 3²
3² x 2 should be your answer
hope this helps
