Answer 1

Answer:

4 feet of wall should be on each side of the painting.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a 4 foot wide painting should be centered on a 12 foot wide wall, to determine how many feet (X) should be on each side of the painting, the following equation must be solved:

(Total wide of the wall - wide of the painting) / 2 = X

(12 - 4) / 2 = X

8/2 = X

4 = X

Therefore, 4 feet of wall should be on each side of the painting.
