A picture is 5 inches by 7 inches. There is a frame around the picture that is of uniform width. The area of the frame and the picture combined is 72 in2. How wide is the picture frame? Formulate an equation that you would use to solve for x, the width of the picture frame. A) (5 + x)(7 + x) = 72 B) (5 - x)(7 - x) = 72 C) (5 + 2x)(7 + 2x) = 72 D) (5 - 2x)(7 - 2x) = 72

answer: 0

step-by-step explanation: the positive, like 5, + its opposite, like -5 would be 0

5+(-5)=0, or 5-5=0

a. (14,375+570)(5.3) b. 158,417$

step-by-step explanation:

a. you are basically just setting up the equation. f= amount of debt hence 14,375. g= how much she is borrowing from her parents weekly hence 570 and t= the interest on her debt. creating the equation.

b.   14,375+570= 14,945

      14,945 x 5.3 = 79,208.5

      79,208.5 x 2(years) = 158,417(answer)
