You can put this solution on YOUR website!
L = the length of the picture
\n" ); document.write( "w = the width of the picture
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A framed picture is 7 inches longer than wide.
\n" ); document.write( "L = w + 7
\n" ); document.write( " The width of frame is 5 inches. Total area is 470 square inches
\n" ); document.write( "This would add 10 inches to both length and width
\n" ); document.write( "(L+10)*(w+10) = 470
\n" ); document.write( "Replace L with (w+7)
\n" ); document.write( "((w+7)+10)*(w+10)
\n" ); document.write( "(w+17)*(w+10) = 470
\n" ); document.write( "FOIL
\n" ); document.write( "w^2 + 10w + 17w + 170 = 470
\n" ); document.write( "w^2 + 27w + 170 - 470 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "w^2 + 27w - 300 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Using the quadratic formula, the positive solution
\n" ); document.write( "w = 8.46 in is the width of the picture
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "L = 8.46 + 7 = 15.46 in is the length of the picture
\n" ); document.write( " \" Determine outside dimensions of framed picture.
\n" ); document.write( "Add 10\" to each dimension
\n" ); document.write( "25.46\" by 18.46\" the overall dimensions
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check 25.46 * 18.46 = 469.99 ~ 470
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
