Question

Solve for W: P=2L + 2W

A. W=P-L
B. W= 1/2P - L
C. W= 1/2 P + L
D. W= 2P - L​

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

`P=2L+2W`

`P-2L=2W` (Subtract 2L from both sides of the equation)

`2W=P-2L` (Symmetric Property of Equality)

`W=(P-2L)/(2)` (Divide both sides of the equation by 2)

`W=(P)/(2) -(2L)/(2)` ("Split" the fractions)

`W=(1)/(2)P-L` (Simplify)
