Absolute value only removes the negative signs. Just multiply the numerator and the denominator
Answer:
<em>The area of Marlien's living room is 420 square ft</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Before calculating the real dimensions of Marlien's living room, we must find the value of x.
Given the total shape of the house is a rectangle, then both widths must be equal and both lengths must be equal.
The widths are already written width identical expressions x-2+x, but the lengths are given as different functions of x. Equating both expressions, we have:

Simplifying:
-10 + x - 2 = 2
x = 10 + 2 + 2
x = 14
Since x=14 feet, the dimensions of Marlien's living room are
width=x=14 feet
length=2x+2=30 feet
Thus the area is:
A = 14*30 = 420 square ft
The area of Marlien's living room is 420 square ft
Answer:
$41.16
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of bricks required = 35 feet, length of brick sold = 10 inches, cost of 10 inches brick = $0.98 per brick
Total number of brick required to build the back yard = Length of bricks required ÷ Length of brick sold
1 ft = 12 inches
Number of brick required = (35 * 12) ÷ 10
Number of bricks required = 42 bricks
Cost of brick required = Per length cost of brick * Number of bricks required
Cost of brick required = 0.98 * 42
Cost of brick required = $41.16
Ms. Fontanges would spend $41.16 on the purchase of bricks
