\n" ); document.write( "I tried to do this problem, and I would just like to check with you.
\n" ); document.write( "The problem is:
\n" ); document.write( "P=2L+2W solve for L
\n" ); document.write( "so i subtracted 2W from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "and got: P-2W=2L
\n" ); document.write( "then i divided by 2 and got
\n" ); document.write( "L=P-2W/2
\n" ); document.write( "am i correct? or is there something else that needs to be done?
\n" ); document.write( "thanks in advance \n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Since the numerator has two terms, you need parenthses there.
