Answer:


(15-6-6)/(2) = x

You should have 1.5 feet of space between each picture.

Explanation:

Let x be the spacing between the pictures


(15-6-6)/(2) = x The total length - end spacing - the width of the posters. What is left is the blank spaces between the posters. Since there are 2 blank spaces, we will divide by 2 to find out the spacing between the two pictures. Which is 1.5 feet.
