Solve P=2(l+w) for l. what are the missing values in the table below?
P W 1
14 2 ?
22 8 ?

anonymous · Answer

You can consider P=2(l+w) as P=2l+2w, by substituting values, you should be able to get the l after you move it to one side, does that help any?

anonymous · Answer

lol i'm so confused

anonymous · Answer

Basically i distribute the 2 with the l and w, so you end up with an equation of P = 2l+2w. Since you have the values for P and W, you can just plug them in, so the only term left would be "l". Does that make it more clear?

anonymous · Answer

yes way more clear now do i solve the linear equation?

anonymous · Answer

Yes you do, all you have to do is move the constants to one side and make "l" by itself, that would be your solution to "l".

alright thank you so much:)
