A square picture frame has a perimeter of (20x + 32) inches. What is the length of one side of the picture frame?
All four sides of a square are equal, i.e., the same length
The perimeter is around the outside of the square, all four sides
If around all four sides is (20x + 32) then one side is a fourth of that perimeter
(20x + 32) divided by 4 equals (5x + 8) and that's your answer
