Use the formula P = 2l + 2w to find the length l of a rectangular lot if the width w is 50 feet and the perimeter P is 290 feet.

"l" is confusing in plain text. Try using L instead.

P=2L%2B2w
You are given a description and question asking you to solve for L, the length.
P-2w=2L
L=%28P-2w%29%2F2
Now just substitute for P and w and evaluate L.
