Let's make the width 'x'.
And the length 'x+4'.
Perimeter is adding up ALL the sides.
Add: x + x + 4 + x + x + 4.
Simplify:
x + x + 4 + x + x + 4 = 4x + 8
When a number has the |absolute value|, it refers to the amount of units the number is from 0. (you can think of a timeline)
|3| is 3 units away from zero
|-5| is 5. it is NOT -5 units from 0, since a number cannot be -5 units away.
Basically, these lines | x | will make the number positive.
answer
-5,-2, | -2 |, | 3 |, 8
