Answer:

Explanation:

This is a simple x and y equation. In this case x = the width of the picture frame and y = the space between the picture frames. Also, measure the total expanse of the wall.In my case, the total wall space = 126 3/4" which is 126.75 if we express in a decimal (we'll convert back to a fraction when we are done).

Our equations is: 5y + 4x = 126.75

5y + (4 * 14.5) = 126.75

5y + 58 = 126.75

5y = 68.75

y = 13.75

Most rulers are in inches or millimeters and show fractional values. In this case, 13.75 easily converts to 13 3/4.

Each picture is 30" wide. I had 150 inches total wall space, a

Here the equation is 3x + 6y = 150
