Solve for l p=2(l+w)

$p = 2 (l + w)$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $2 (l + w) = p$ .

$2 (l + w) = p$

Step 2

Divide each term in $2 (l + w) = p$ by $2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $2 (l + w) = p$ by $2$ .

$\frac{2 (l + w)}{2} = \frac{p}{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 (l + w)}{2} = \frac{p}{2}$

Divide $l + w$ by $1$ .

$l + w = \frac{p}{2}$

Step 3

Subtract $w$ from both sides of the equation.

$l = \frac{p}{2} - w$
