Since you need the vertex, and knowing the vertex will tell you the axis of symmetry, it is convenient to put the equation in vertex form.
.. -x^2 -4x +1
.. = -(x^2 +4x) +1
.. = -(x^2 +4x +(4/2)^2) +1 -(-(4/2)^2) . . . . complete the square
.. = -(x +2)^2 +5
The vertex is (-2, 5).
The axis of symmetry is x = -2.

40/100=22/x
40 (x)=22 (100)
40x=2200
40/40x=2200/40
x=55%

The absolute value lines basically just serve as parentheses in this equation.
(2-1)/(2-1) = 1
(1)/(1) = 1
