Solve for w p=2L+2w

$p = 2 L + 2 w$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $2 L + 2 w = p$ .

$2 L + 2 w = p$

Step 2

Subtract $2 L$ from both sides of the equation.

$2 w = p - 2 L$

Step 3

Divide each term in $2 w = p - 2 L$ by $2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $2 w = p - 2 L$ by $2$ .

$\frac{2 w}{2} = \frac{p}{2} + \frac{- 2 L}{2}$

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 $1$ .

$w = \frac{p}{2} + \frac{- 2 L}{2}$

$w = \frac{p}{2} + \frac{- 2 L}{2}$

$w = \frac{p}{2} + \frac{- 2 L}{2}$

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 $1$ .

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

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

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

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

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