number 39. We're solving the equation for W. So I'm going to start by subtracting to L on both sides of the equal sign. So I have P minus two. L equals two w because that goes away. And we cannot combine anything with different variables. So all of these problems, we're going to just have to leave in terms of the variable and then our last step. Since this is multiplication, we're gonna do the inverse operation. So we're gonna divide by two that goes away. I have w equals P minus two l divided by two, which can also be written as p over to minus L.
