p=2(l+w) for l

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p= 2l+2w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 2w p-2w= 2l

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide both sides by 2 1/2p-w=l

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Therefore l=1/2p- w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u explain where the 1/2 came from

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well you would divide p by 2 which would give you p/2 which is the same as 1/2p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you divide p by 2 because you have to divide both sides of the equation to isolate the variable

thank you
