The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the following formula: P = 2W + 2L
To solve this formula for W, the goal is to isolate this variable to one side of the equation such that the width of the rectangle (W) can be solved when given its perimeter (P) and length (L).
P = 2W + 2L
subtract 2L from both sides of the equation
P - 2L = 2W + 2L - 2L
P - 2L = 2W
divide both sides of the equation by 2
(P - 2L)/2 = (2W)/2
(P - 2L)/2 = (2/2)W
(P - 2L)/2 = (1)W
(P - 2L)/2 = W
Thus, given that the perimeter (P) of a rectangle is defined by P = 2W + 2L ,
then its width (W) is given by <span>W = (P - 2L)/2</span>

They are related as they are both decimals, and carry a 9. They are therefore 90th of some strange
It is A because you are adding 3 to in if you were to subtract then it will go down not up.
