Solve for W 2W=P-2L

$2 W = P - 2 L$

Step 1

Divide each term in $2 W = P - 2 L$ by $2$ .

$\frac{2 W}{2} = \frac{P}{2} + \frac{- 2 L}{2}$

Step 2

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 W}{2} = \frac{P}{2} + \frac{- 2 L}{2}$

Divide $W$ by $1$ .

$W = \frac{P}{2} + \frac{- 2 L}{2}$

$W = \frac{P}{2} + \frac{- 2 L}{2}$

$W = \frac{P}{2} + \frac{- 2 L}{2}$

Step 3

Simplify the right side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 2$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $- 2 L$ .

$W = \frac{P}{2} + \frac{2 (- L)}{2}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2$ .

$W = \frac{P}{2} + \frac{2 (- L)}{2 (1)}$

Cancel the common factor.

$W = \frac{P}{2} + \frac{2 (- L)}{2 \cdot 1}$

Rewrite the expression.

$W = \frac{P}{2} + \frac{- L}{1}$

Divide $- L$ by $1$ .

$W = \frac{P}{2} - L$

$W = \frac{P}{2} - L$

$W = \frac{P}{2} - L$

$W = \frac{P}{2} - L$
