You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2L + 2W = P Sovle for L
First let's isolate the 2L by subtracting 2W from both sides of the equation...
2L = P - 2W
Now, in order to solve for L we can simply divide both sides of the equation by 2.
%282L%29%2F2+=+%28P+-+2W%29%2F2
the 2's cancel on the left side of the equation, but they cannot cancel on the right because of the subtraction.
L+=+%28P+-+2W%29%2F2
So this is as far as we can go, it cannot be simplified any further.
I hope this helps.
Good Luck!
