Answer 1

Answer:

l = 58.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Step 1: Write out equation

112 = 2l - 5

Step 2: Isolate term l by adding 5 on both sides

117 = 2l

Step 3: Isolate l by dividing both sides by 2

117/2 = l

Step 4: Evaluate

l = 58.5

Answer 2

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{l = \frac{117}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be $l$.

$112 = 2 l - 5$

Adding 5 to both sides.

$112 +5= 2 l - 5+5$

$117 = 2 l$

Dividing both sides by 2.

$\displaystyle \frac{117}{2} = \frac{2 l}{2}$

$\displaystyle \frac{117}{2} = l$
