Question

alissa is framing a rectangular picture with length 10 inches and width 8 inches. let x represent the width of the frame in inches. which expression represents the length, in inches, of the framed picture?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify length - frame relationship

The length of the rectangular picture is 10 inches. The frame of width \(x\) is added on both the top and the bottom of the length.

Step2: Calculate the length of the framed picture

The length of the framed picture is the original length plus \(2x\) ( \(x\) on top and \(x\) on bottom). So the expression is \(10 + 2x\).

Answer:

\(10 + 2x\)
