Represent the thickness of the frame by x. Framing the mirror will increase both its length and width by 2x. The area of the mirror with the frame is the product of the length and width which can mathematically be expressed as,
A = (3 + 2x)(2 +2x) = 8
The equation above can be simplified into 4x^2 + 10x -2 = 0. This equation can still be further simplified by dividing it by 2. However, it will give an answer which is not found on the choices. Thus, the answer is the third choice.
Hey smart cookie ;)
So with this all we need to do is factor the expression.
Our answer is going to be 2x(16x^4+15)
Let me know if you have other questions!
Have a terrific day.
