P=2L+2W solve for L

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What happens if u subtract 2W ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're trying to isolate the L so subtract 2W from the right side: P-2W=L Then you divide by two which is P-2W/2=L

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why is it 2w/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry is was P-2W=2L because of the original equation. So after you isolate 2L you just divide by two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If u subtract 2W from sides u r left with P-2W=2L Now to isolate l we divide by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No just 2 since the 2 with 2L is positive we divide by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p/2=L is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No its p/2-w=L

OpenStudy (anonymous):

P-2W/2=L

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ P-2w }{ 2 }=l\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think that should make it clear
