Question

solve for the indicated variable. include all of your work in your answer. submit your solution. P=2L+2W; for L.

Answer 1

We have this equation:

$P=2L+2W$

So, we need to solve this equation for L. Then we sum -2W in each member of the equation, like this:

$P-2W=2L+2W-2W$
$P-2W=2L$

Then, dividing the equation by 2:

$\frac{P-2W}{2}=L$

Finally, let's order this equation:


$L=\frac{P-2W}{2}$
