You need to get L by itself. Keep in mind with equality problems that what you do to one side, you must do to the other.
Let me break it down for you.
P=2L+2W, -2w from both sides.
P-2W=2L, now divide the other side by 2.
1/2P-W=L
N= 7.01 :D I’m pretty sure that’s the answer :)
Given :
Ruth wants to buy a skateboard for $44.
She has $100 in her account. She spent $11.36 to buy stationary.
She also wants to buy some comic books for $3.72 each.
To Find :
The maximum number of comic books, n, that Ruth can buy so that she has enough money left to buy the skateboard.
Solution :
Money left after buying skateboard and stationary is :
Money left = $(100 - 11.36 - 44)
Money left = $44.64
Number of comic she can buy is :

Therefore, she can buy a maximum of 12 books.
Hence, this is the required solution.
No she will not have enough paper because 200 times five is 1000 and if you multiply 23 by 52 is 1196 but I am not fully sure if this answer is right
Five less than a number n
