Answer:

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = width of frame.

The width of the frame is added all around the painting, so you must add 2x to the length of the painting and 2x to the width of the painting to find the total length and width including the frame.

painting length: 30

total length: 2x + 30

painting width: 20

total width: 2x + 20

total area = LW

total area = (2x + 30)(2x + 20)

total area = 1200

(2x + 30)(2x + 20) = 1200

(x + 15)(x + 10) = 300

x^2 + 10x + 15x + 150 = 300

x^2 + 25x - 150 = 0

(x - 5)(x + 30) = 0

x - 5 = 0  or  x + 30 = 0

x = 5  or x = -30

The width of the frame cannot be a negative number, so we discard the solution x = -30.

Answer: 5 cm

A number decreased by 5 is 50
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

55 decrease by 5 is 50, or 55 - 5 = 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the missing number.

When you hear the words decrease, minus, that tells you to subtract.

Before we subtract, if there is a variable, we must do the opposite of subtraction, we need to add.

50 + 5 = x

Which means x = 50 + 5.

50 + 5 = 55.

Therefore, x = 55.
