  1. let the width of the frame be x cm

    width of whole thing = 8+2x
    length of the whole thing = 12 + 2x

    whole thing - actual picture = actual picture
    (8+2x)(12+2x) - 96 = 96

    expand and simplify, take everything to the left and you have a quadratic equation, which you said you can handle.
    (hint: you should get x=2)
