Question

Solve for L:P = 2L+ 2WOL=P WP+ 2W2OL = P = wOL=P - WOL=

Answer 1

The given equation is:

`P=2L+2W`

Move 2W to the left hand side and change its sign:

`P-2W=2L`

Divide both sides by 2:

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

Simplifying this gives:

`\begin{gathered} L=(P)/(2)-(2W)/(2) \\ L=(1)/(2)P-W \end{gathered}`

Therefore the correct answers are:

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