I NEED THIS ASAP 20PTS A rectangular painting is bordered by a frame as shown. The width of the frame is the
same on every side. The area of the painting is equal to the area of the frame. Write an
equation and solve. Show all of your work handwritten on your scratch paper. What is
the width (in inches) of the frame?

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
