Step-by-step Step-by-step explanation 
Here ...I'm not too sure about the question as you have written 
P = 2 ( 1 + 6 ) and ask to solve for L ...
.So I guess the question you have written is wrong .. ...and I guess there should be L in the place of 1. 
...So let me correct the question....
P = 2 ( l + 6 ) 
P = 2l + 12 
P - 2l = 12 
- 2l = 12 - P 
- 2l = - P + 12 
Change the sign of both side of the equation...
2l = P + 12 
divide both side by the same number...
L = ( P + 12 ) ÷ 2 

Calculate the product of rational numbers...
