Question

Solve the problem by entering and solving an equation.

A rectangular picture frame has a perimeter of 58 inches. The height of the frame is 12 inches. What is the width of the frame

Answer 1

Answer:

15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the formula

Let 'x' be the other side

2 [ l + b ] = Perimeter

2 [ 12 + x ] = 58

    12 + x   = 58 divided by 2

           x    = 27 - 12

                 = 15

Therefore 15 inches is the other side.
