Answer:

The width of the frame is 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given dimensions of the picture = 7 inches by 7 inches

The area of the picture, A₁ = 7 in. × 7 in. = 49 in.²

The area of the given picture and the frame, A₂ = 81 square inches

Let 'w' represent the width of the frame and whereby the picture is a square, we have;

The area of the picture with the frame, A₂ = 81 in.² = (7 + w) × (7 + w)

A₂ = 81 = (7 + w) × (7 + w) = 49 + 14·w + w²

49 + 14·w + w² - 81 = 0

w² + 14·w - 32 = 0

(x + 16)·(x - 2) = 0

∴ x = -16 or x = 2

Given that 'x' is a natural number, we have;

The width of the frame, x = 2 inches.
