Simplifying Algebraic Equations in Property Planning

A property coordinator is calculating the dimensions of a rectangular parking lot where the width is defined as 10 feet less than the length (LL). After substituting the width expression into the perimeter formula and distributing the 2 to get the expression $2L + 2L - 20,whatisthespecificalgebraicsteprequiredbythegeometryproblemsolvingstrategytosimplifytheequationbeforethevariable, what is the specific algebraic step required by the geometry problem-solving strategy to simplify the equation before the variable L$ can be isolated?
