Question

Which of the following statements explains how to solve for l using the formula A = lw, when A = 28 and w = 2? Divide 28 by 2. Divide 2 by 28. Multiply 28 by 2. Subtract 2 from 28.

Answer 1

Answer:

Divide 28 by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When the variable of interest is multiplied by something, you undo that multiplication by dividing the equation by that something.

Here, l is multiplied by 2, so the solution is found by dividing ...

... 28 = l·2

by 2 to get ...

... 28/2 = l

That is, you divide 28 by 2 to find l.
