HELP WILL FAN AND MEDAL Transform the formula for the given variable: p = 2(l + w) Solve for w. A. w = p/2 - l B. w = p/2 + l C. w = 2p + l D. w = 2p - l

OpenStudy (jmansedg):

help me please

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

Let's divide both sides by 2. What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to try and isolate w, the first step is ^ what @AbdullahM said Work in reverse order of operations

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

First distribute... \(p = 2l + 2w \)

OpenStudy (jmansedg):

ok

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

Distributing the 2 will only make us do a few more additional steps. First divide by 2 on both sides :)

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Now divide both sides by 2... \( p/2 = l + w\)

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

@AbdullahM has got this :)

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Keep in mind @jmansedg there are multiple ways to do problems But I do agree with @AbdullahM in this situation although either route you take the difference is not substantial

OpenStudy (jmansedg):

ya

OpenStudy (jmansedg):

hold on mate

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

Sure!

OpenStudy (jmansedg):

can you just give me the answer please i need to get this done

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

Unfortunately, we cannot give the answer.

OpenStudy (jmansedg):

it is b right

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

it defeats the purpose, to simply pick letters at random, as opposed to solve as intended the idea behind the exercise is, to do it, and thus understand it if it were a matter of just neverminding all that, why bother giving it to you in the first place?

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

^

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

can you pick b? or a? or whatever else? sure will that help you learn it in anyway? nope
