Please help!! A picture measuring 4 inches by 6 inches is placed inside a frame which has equal width around the entire picture. If the area of the frame and the picture is 63 square inches, what is the width of the frame?

Width of Frame = 1.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the picture is 4 by 6, or

4 * 6 = 24

The frame is same width all sides, let that width of frame each side be "x".

So,

Width of frame (and pic) = 4 + x + x = 4 + 2x

Height of frame (and pic) = 6 + x + x = 6 + 2x

Total area of frame and pic is 63, so we can write:

Now, we multiply and solve for "x":

We disregard -6.5 since width can't be negative. So, we conclude:

Width of Frame = 1.5 inches

1.5 is right
