Step-by-step explanation
Here ...I'm not too sure about the question as you have written
P = 2 ( 1 + 6 ) and ask to solve for L ...
.So I guess the question you have written is wrong .. ...and I guess there should be L in the place of 1.
...So let me correct the question....
P = 2 ( l + 6 )
P = 2l + 12
P - 2l = 12
- 2l = 12 - P
- 2l = - P + 12
Change the sign of both side of the equation...
2l = P + 12
divide both side by the same number...
L = ( P + 12 ) ÷ 2
[tex]l = \frac{1}{2} p - 12 \times \frac{1}{2} \\ [/tex]
Calculate the product of rational numbers...
[tex]l = \frac{1}{2} p - 6 \\ [/tex]
