Question

Solve the equation for H:
S = LW + WH + HL

Answer 1

S = LW + WH + HL

First, get all of the elements with H on one side.
S - LW = WH + HL

Then factor out the H:

S - LW = H(W+L)

Divide both sides by (W + L)

(S - LW)/(W + L) = H.

You're done!

Answer 2

So your final answer should be
\[\frac{ S - LW }{ W + L }\]

Answer 3

Thank you so much!

Answer 4

No problem! :) It's not a terribly difficult thing to do, although working with letter variables (or constants) instead of numbers is always more intimidating. Good luck with the rest of your math!
