Lorena Lin · Answer 1

P=2L+2W

2L=P-2W

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

L=1/2P-W

You need to get L by itself. Keep in mind with equality problems that what you do to one side, you must do to the other.

Let me break it down for you.

P=2L+2W, - 2w from both sides.

P-2W=2L, now divide the other side by 2.

1/2P-W=L
