Question 1049491: A matte is to be cut and placed over five small square pictures before framing. Each picture is 5 in. wide, and the matte frame is 37 in. wide, as shown in the figure. If the pictures are to be equally spaced (including the space on the left and right edges), how wide is the matte between them?
