p=2L+2w For w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first, move 2L over to the opposite side. Do you know how to do this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i sorta got this but i got stuck there at p-2L+2w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're close! it's actually p-2L=2w; do you see why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh yea thats what i got i misstyped it lol :P but yea i didnt know what else to do when i got to there do i like devide by 2w?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

close again! we want to get w alone, so we divide both sides by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

go ahead and do that and let me know what you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p-2L/2=2w/2 cross out all the 2's? is it p-L=w?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ p-21 }{ 2 } = \frac{ 2w }{ 2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's not 21, it's 2L in there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get 21?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry lol my typos :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok haha had me worried

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so when we divide by 2, we get \[\frac{ p }{ 2 }-L = w\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you see why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I love those "aha" moments :)
