we know that
The area of rectangle (countertop) is equal to

we have

Remember that

To convert feet to meters multiply by 0.305
so


<em>Find the area in square meters</em>


The last step of an equation whose solutions are x=-10 and x=-5 is:
(x+10)(x+5)=0
We need to add some previous steps, which make the equation an absolute value equation.
A way to do this, is writing |(x+10)(x+5)|=0,
the only solutions are still x=-10 and x=-5
Answer: |(x+10)(x+5)|=0
