What is the correct solution when you are asked to solve:
S= 4WL + 2 WH for H
They want you to rearrange the equation using basic algebra operations
so the finished product will be H =
:
S = 4WL + 2WH
Subtract 4WL from both sides
S - 4WL = 2WH
Divide both sides by 2W
%28%28s-4WL%29%29%2F%282W%29 = H
same as
H = %28%28s-4WL%29%29%2F%282W%29
