Answer: Option C

Explanation: Here we have the equation: N = 7LH

If we want to isolate L in one side of the equation, the steps are the following ones:

N = 7LH

First, divide both sides by the number 7, this does not affect equality.

N/7 = (7LH)/7 = LH

Now, we divide both sides of the equation by H.

N/(7H) = LH/H = L

Now we have the equation L = N/(7H), this mean that the right option is C.
