A museum curator needs to frame a rectangular painting. The painting is 24“ x 16“.
Question one. If the frame is to be of with width x, what is the function for the area of the painting, including the frame?
-------------------------------------------

Let A be the total area for frame plus painting;
and x assigned as the width of the frame on each side of the painting.
highlight%28A=%2824%2B2x%29%2816%2B2x%29%29, or you can call the function A%28x%29.
