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

What is 420/1000 in simplest form
balandron [24]
The answer would be 21/50. If you have numbers with a few zeros you can cross one of the top amd bottom until you reach the other numbers, if that makes sense. You can changd 420/1000 to 42/100. Then just keep dividing it by a numner that goes evenly into both the numerator and denominator.

Answer is 120 because all of the angles add up to 180. 180-26-34= Y
