Question

The length of a picture frame is 3 inches greater than the width the perimeter is less than 52 inches describe the length of the frame

Answer 1

let's consider

width = y

so length = y +3

 

perimeter = p = 2 (y + y+3) =2(2y+3) = 4y+6

 

p < 52

 

4y + 6 < 52

 

4y <46

 

y < 11.5

length = y+3 =11.5 + 3 = 14.5

so length of picture frame is less than 14.5
