Answer:
L = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 2L + 2W
you know that P = 50, W=10
So you have to replace those values on the equation
50 = 2L + 2*(10) --> Replace P and W
50 = 2L + 20 --> Multiply and now you are going to separate the unknown and the constants.
Remember that if you send a constant to the other side of the equal the sign will change to its opposite
50 - 20 = 2L --> Solve the constants
30 = 2L --> Now for the L, you have to leave it alone, so the 2 that is multiplying you have to send it to the other side of the equal but with the opposite operation, the opposite operation of multiplying is dividing, so you have:
30/2 = L
L= 15
