Step-by-step explanation:
Let the painting's width be w inches and length be l inches.
w + 6 = 2l
w = 2l - 6 --(1)
2w + 2l = 84 --(2)
sub (1) into (2):
2(2l - 6) + 2l = 84
2l - 6 + l = 42
3l = 48
l = 16
when l = 16, w = 2(16) - 6 = 26
area of painting = lw = 16 x 26 = 416square inches
Therefore, only statements 1, 3 and 5 are true
