document.write( "Question 1153511: An artist intends to paint a 45-square-foot rectangular mural on a wall that is 13 feet long and 9 feet high, as shown below. If the artist wants to leave a border of uniform width, how wide should the border be? (Hint: Let w represent the width of the border. Then 13 − 2w represents the length of the mural.)\r
