A picture 10 feet long is to be centered on a wall that is 14. feet long. How much space is there from

the edge of the wall to the picture?

we have that

the center of the wall is 7 ft from the edge

the center of the picture is 5 ft from the edge

therefore

the distance from the edge of the wall to the picture is

5-(7-5)=5-2=3 ft

the answer is 3 ft
