Question

1. use the pencil tool to circle the variable we are solving for. 2) which operation should we perform on both sides of the equation to solve for w? divide by 2 subtract 2l subtract 2w subtract p 2l + 2w = p

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate 2W term

We want to get 2W alone on one - side. Starting with $2L + 2W=P$, we subtract 2L from both sides of the equation. So, $2L + 2W-2L=P - 2L$, which simplifies to $2W=P - 2L$. Then we can further solve for W. To solve for W in the first step, we need to subtract 2L from both sides of the equation.

Answer:

subtract 2L
