V=lwh

You want to isolate for w, so that means you need to get l and h over to the left side. They are being multiplied by w, so to get them to the other side, you have to divide by them.

V/lh = w*lh/lh (Recall that lh/lh = 1, because anything divided by itself is equal to 1.)

V/lh = w*1
V/lh = w
w = V/lh

Does that make sense?
