Question 1 • Algebra I

The height of Sonji’s picture frame is 18 inches. Part of the height is from the matting. Sonji wants to know the height of a picture that will fit in the remaining height of the frame. If m represents the height of one side of the matting, which expression represents the height of the opening for the picture?

Answer
A
18 minus 2 m
B
m minus 18
C
2 m over 18
D
18 over m

Explanation

The matting takes up m inches at the top and m inches at the bottom, so it uses 2m inches of the frame’s height. Subtract that from the frame’s total height: 18 − 2m. The expression 18 minus 2 m represents the height of the picture opening.
