Question

One wall inside an art studio is used to display paintings with oval frames and rectangular

Answer 1

Answer:

Oval frames = 17

Rectangular frames = 51

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Paintings on wall are either oval or rectangular ;

Let :

Oval painting = x

Rectangular painting = y

According to the information given :

x + y = 68 - - (1)

Rectangular frames = 3 times oval frames

y = 3x - - - (2)

Put y = 3x in equation (1)

x + 3x = 68

4x = 68

x = 68/4

x = 17 frames

From :

x + y = 68

17 + y = 68

y = 68 - 17

y = 51

Oval frames = 17

Rectangular frames = 51
