If p = 2l + 2w solve for l ​

Question

If

`p = 2l + 2w`
solve for

`l`
​

Answer 1

l = -w + (p/2)

Explanation:

Isolate the variable l. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, subtract 2w from both sides.

p = 2l + 2w

p (-2w) = 2l + 2w (-2w)

p - 2w = 2l

Isolate the l. Divide 2 from both sides.

(2l)/2 = (-2w + p)/2

l = -w + (p/2)

l = -w + (p/2) is your answer.
