Solve for w

P = 2L + 2w

Question

Solve for w

P = 2L + 2w

help!!!! · Answer

Isolate the equation where w is by itself. Subtract -2L on both sides and divide by 2.

anonymous · Answer

P = 2L + 2W

2L + P = 2W

(2L + P)/2 = W

P = 2W +2L 
step is keep 2L in one side of equation , and move every thing else to the other side.
 
In moving any quantity from one side to other, change the sign. ( equivalent of adding or subtracting equal                                                                                                  quantity from both sides of equation).
 
2L = P - 2W
 
divide both sides by 2:
 
 L = p/2 - w
 
 Step is the same as solving  X in equation of  8 = 2X + 16
 2X = 8 -16 = 8
   X =4
