is this multiple choice?
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
p=2l+2w
Since you want to solve for w, you need to isolate w and get rid of everything else that is near w.
The first step is to get rid of the 2l term. Since 2l is being added to 2w, you must subtract 2l, but in an equation, you must do the same thing to both sides, so start by subtracting 2l from both sides.
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
Do the following subtraction. What do you get?
p = 2l + 2w
- 2l -2l
-------------------
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
You get:
p - 2l = 2w
Now that you have 2w on the right side, just divide both sides by 2 to get w by itself.
