Answer: When you solve for w the equation is [tex]w= \frac{p-2l}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
p = 2L + 2w subtract 2L from both sides
p -2L = 2L -2L + 2w 2L-2L = 0 om the right; they cancel
p - 2L = 2w now get w alone
(p - 2L)/2 = 2w/2 divide both sides by 2 2w/2 = w 2/2=1 it "cancels"
[tex]\frac{p +2L}{2} = w[/tex] rewrite Reverse sides to put w alone on the left side
[tex]w= \frac{p-2l}{2}[/tex]
