Charlie is making a rectangular picture frame. The height of the frame is 6 inches less than twice the width. The perimeter of the frame is 78 inches. Which of these systems of equations best describes the dimensions of the picture frame?

A. h + 2x = 6
h + w =78

B. h = 6 - 2w
2h + 2w =78

C. h = 2w - 6
h + w = 78

D. h= 2w - 6
2h + 2w =78

Answer 1

skip A and C since the perimeter is \(2h+2w\)

Answer 2

Right!

Answer 3

height is 6 inches less than twice the width means
\[ h= 2w - 6\]
