You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Original Length: 25ft%2B8inches=24ft%2B20inches
Minus: 18ft%2B10inches
highlight%286ft%2B10inches%29 ---system%2824ft%2B20inches%2C-18ft%2B10inches%29
Check:
24ft%2B20inches=highlight%2825ft%2B8inches%29---system%28%2B18ft+%2B10inches%2C6ft%2B10inches%29
Thank you,
