Arectangular picture frame contains a 12×14 picture. what is the width of the frame if the total area of the picture and the frame is 288 inches squared?

12 x 14 is 168 minus 288 is 120

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
