You can put this solution on YOUR website! P=2x+2w [When solving for "x" you are trying to isolate the x term to one side of the equation.]
.
P-2w=2x+2w-2w [Start with subtraction or addition first. When solving for a term, work the order of operations backward. That is, instead of PEMDAS, use SADMEP!!]
.
p-2w=2x [Divide both sides by "2" to detach it from the x term.]
(p-2w)/2=2x/2
(p-2w)/2=x
