Answer: B. 2 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the uniform width of the frame.

The original dimensions of the picture is 5 in x 7 in. This means that the new width of the picture together with the frame is (5 + 2x) in and the new length of the picture together with the frame is (7 + 2x) in.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The area of the picture and the frame together is 99 in2. Therefore,

(5 + 2x)(7 + 2x) = 99

35 + 10x + 14x + 4x² = 99

4x² + 24x + 35 - 99 = 0

4x² + 24x - 64 = 0

Dividing through by 4, it becomes

x² + 6x - 16 = 0

x² + 8x - 2x - 16 = 0

x(x + 8) - 2(x + 8) = 0

x - 2 = 0 or x + 8 = 0

x = 2 or x = - 8

The width cannot be negative. So

x = 2 in

Complete the following proof.
Ivan

Using the circle theorems, we have proven that m ∠RTW = 15°

<h3>Circle theorems </h3>

From the question, we are to prove that m ∠RTW = 15°

In the given diagram,

measure of arc ST = 30°

∴ m ∠SRT = 30°

m ∠SRT = ∠T + ∠W ( <em>Exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the two remote angles</em>)

Also,

∠T = ∠W (<em>Radii of the same circle</em>)

∴ m ∠SRT = ∠T + ∠T

m ∠SRT = 2 × ∠T

30° = 2 × ∠T

∠T = 30° /2

∠T = 15°

∴ m ∠RTW = 15°  

Hence, we have proven that m ∠RTW = 15°

Fill in the missing justifications in the correct order.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

A ) Distributive property, subtraction property of equality, subtraction property of equality, division property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation:

4 ( x + 5 ) = 2 x + 2

4 x + 20 = 2 x + 2 ( Distributive property ),

because: 4 · x + 4 · 5 = 4 x + 20

Then follows :  4 x - 2 x + 20 = 2 x - 2 x + 2  ( Subtraction property of equality )

2 x + 20 = 2

After that:

2 x + 20 - 20 = 2 - 20  ( Subtraction property of equality )

2 x = - 18

Finally:

x = - 18 : 2  ( Division property of equality )

x = - 9
