Makayla is taking a math course and is working with the perimeter of rectangles. She knows the perimeter and length of her recta
ngle but wants to solve for the width. Rearrange the following equation for W, where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is the width of the rectangle. P = 2L + 2W
W = 2P − 2L
W = P/ 2-2 times L
W equals the quantity P minus 2 times L all over 2
W = 2P + 2L
Ok, so first you solve whatever is in the parentheses. (28 • 5-5 • 190)-2•228 28• 5 = 140 Then 5 •190 = 950 Then multiply 950 • 140 = 133,000 Then it should look like this: 133,000-2•228 Multiply 2 • 228 = 456 Then subtract 456 from 133,000. The answer should come out to 132,544.
