2l+2w=100
2(w+20)+2w=100
2w+40+2w=100
4w+40=100
4w=60
w=15
l=w+20
l=15+20
Greatest length is 35ft.
28 - 2.2x = 11.6x - 54.8
28 + 54.8 = 11.6x + 2.2x
82.8 = 13.8x
82.8 / 13.8 = x
6 = x
or x = 6
Since the -13 has the absolute value signs next to it, the 13 becomes a positive, but there is a negative outside the absolute value, and the negative sign and the absolute value sign cancelled previously, so the expressions is now
-13
The absolute value signs cancel out a negative only inside the signs, not outside, so the negative sign in the outside keeps.
