Answer:

==============================================
Work Shown:

We want to solve for L, so we have to get it all by itself on one side. We want to isolate this term.

The way we do that is to undo PEMDAS. We follow the order of operations in reverse. So we'll undo subtraction first (if there is any subtraction going on), then undo addition (if there is any addition going on) etc.

Here is the starting equation we are given

Undoing addition; Subtract 2W from both sides

The 2W term goes away on the right side

Undoing addition; Subtract 2H from both sides

The 2H term goes away on the right side

Flip the equation

Undoing multiplication; divide both sides by 2

Simplify the left side

Optionally we could break up the fraction on the right side to get this

but again it's optional
