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

Which of the following equations will produce the graph shown below?

The equation that will produce the given graph is; 6x² + 6y² = 144

<h3>What is the equation of the Circle?</h3>

The standard equation of a circle can be expressed as:

(x + a)² + (y - b)² = r²

where;

(a, b) is the center of the circle

r is the radius of the circle.

From the diagram, we can see that the radius of the circle is between 4 and 5.  Thus, the correct equation must have a radius between these values.

From the option, we can see that the only equation that will have a radius between 4 and 5 is;

6x² + 6y² = 144

Divide through by 6 to get;

x² + y² = 24

x² + y² = √24

Thus r = √24 which is greater than 5
