Question
Solve each formula for the indicated variable. Assume that the denominator is not 0 if variables appear in the denominator. See Examples $4(a)$ and $(b)$.$P=2 l+2 w, \quad$ for $w \quad$ (perimeter of a rectangle)
Step 1
We can do this by subtracting $2l$ from both sides of the equation. This gives us: \[P - 2l = 2w\] Show more…
