A frame maker is hired by an art museum
to make a special frame for a large,
rectangular painting. The painting is 3
times as long as it is tall. The expression
2(x + 3x) represents the perimeter of the
painting, where x represents the length of
the short side of the painting in feet.
What is the total feet of framing needed if
the short side of the painting measures 2.6
feet?
