A picture frame is 14cm by 18cm. There are 192cm2 of the picture showing. Find the width of the frame. I have 2cm.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a rectangle inside a rectangle.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the uniform frame width be \"x\".
\n" ); document.write( "(18-2x)(14-2x) = 192
\n" ); document.write( "252-28x-36x+4x^2 = 192
\n" ); document.write( "4x^2-64x+60 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-16x+15) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(x-15)(x-1)=0
\n" ); document.write( "Realistic solution:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1 cm
