(9 + 2x) would represent the length of the actual painting plus the fixed width of the frame

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck (:

Have A Great Day ^-^

Answer:

(9+2x) represents the total length of the painting

Explanation:

A painting includes a frame of a fixed width around the painting. The total area of the painting is represented by the expression (4+2x)(9+2x)

LEt x be the width of the frame

Length of the painting is 9 , the width of the frame is x

so total length of the frame and painting is 9 + x+x

so (9+2x) represents the total length of the painting
