Tex · Answer 1

P = 2W + 2L step is keep 2L in one side of equation, and move every thing else to the other side. In moving any quantity from one side to other, change the sign. (equivalent of adding or subtracting equal quantity from both sides of equation). 2L = P - 2W divide both sides by 2: L = p/2 - w Step is the same as solving X in equation of 8 = 2X + 16 2X = 8 - 16 = 8 X = 4. But, here you solve one variable in terms of other variables. 9/9/2013 | Parviz F.
