Question

A 6 foot wide painting should be center on a 14 foot wide wall. how many feet X should be on each side of the painting

Answer 1

4 feet

Explanation:

We start by subtracting the 6 from the 14, to get the leftover space on the wall, 8 feet. We then divide that by two, since if the painting is centered there will be two equally-sized spaces on either side of it. This means that X = 4 feet.
