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>

How much interest is earned in 2 years on an investment of $2000? The interest rate is 3%
erik [133]
Answer:
A = $ 2,120.00

Equation:
A = P(1 + rt)
Calculation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 3%/100 = 0.03 per year,
then, solving our equation

A = 2000(1 + (0.03 × 2)) = 2120 
A = $ 2,120.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest,
from simple interest on a principal of $ 2,000.00
at a rate of 3% per year
for 2 years is $ 2,120.00.
