I know how to do this with calculus, but algebraically it starts the same way.
L + 2W = 800 L = 800 - 2w
A = LW
A= (800-2w)w
A = 800w - 2w^2
Take the derivative: 800 -4w
800 -4w = 0 to find max.
800 = 4w
200 =w
l = 400
L + 2W = 800 L = 800 - 2w
A = LW
A= (800-2w)w
A = 800w - 2w^2
Take the derivative: 800 -4w
800 -4w = 0 to find max.
800 = 4w
200 =w
l = 400

How did it become 800-4w from 2400-2w^2?
