(8+2X)(11+2X)=180
\n" ); document.write( "88+38X+4X^2=180
\n" ); document.write( "4X62+38X+88-180=0
\n" ); document.write( "4X^2+38X-92=0
\n" ); document.write( "(2X-4)(2X+23)=0
\n" ); document.write( "2X-4=0
\n" ); document.write( "2X=4
\n" ); document.write( "X=4/2
\n" ); document.write( "X=2 cm is the width of the frame.
