Question

Solve for W: P=2L + 2W

A. W=P-L
B. W= 1/2P - L
C. W= 1/2 P + L
D. W= 2P - L​

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

$P=2L+2W$

$P-2L=2W$ (Subtract 2L from both sides of the equation)

$2W=P-2L$ (Symmetric Property of Equality)

$W=\frac{P-2L}{2}$ (Divide both sides of the equation by 2)

$W=\frac{P}{2} -\frac{2L}{2}$ ("Split" the fractions)

$W=\frac{1}{2}P-L$ (Simplify)
