How do you solve this problem, it's confusing for me.
Question : Kermit hopped 10 feet to the right. He then took three green power hops to the left. If the total jump length is 28 feet, how long is a green power jump?
if 28 is the distance that he is from the starting point then so 10 to the right +10 then 3 to the left -3powerjump 10-3pj total jump length must be to the left because 10 is less than 28 and he can't jump negative feet absolute value |10-3p|=28 since we assume that he jumped 28 feet to the left, we can assuume 10-3p=-28 subtract 10 from both sides -3p=-38 divide by -3 powerjump=12 2/3
or if the problem is he jumped 28 feet in total then 10+3p=28 subtract 10 from both sdies 3p=18 divie by 3 powerjump=6
