P = 2L + 2W
subtract 2w from both sides
P - 2W = 2L
Divide by 2 on both sides.
(P - 2W)/2 = L

Subtract 2w from both sides...
P-2w=2L
Then divide both sides by 2
L= p-2w/2
Hope that helps.

P=2L+2w
P - 2W = 2L
(P - 2W)/2 = L
L = (P - 2W)/2 OR L = (P/2) - W

P=2L+2W
P= 2(L+w)
L+w=P/2
L= P/2-W

You want to get L by itself.. Subtract 2w
P - 2w = 2L
Now divide by 2.
(P - 2w) / 2 = L

First: factor the right side - find the least common factor ... 2
P = 2(L+ w)
Sec: divide both sides by 2 ...
P/2 = [2(L+ w)]/2
*Cross cancel "like" terms ...
P/2 = L + w
Third: solve for "L" by isolating it on one side - subtract "w" from both sides ...
(P/2) - w = L + w - w
(P/2) - w = L
L = (P/2) - w

2L = P - 2w
L = (P - 2w) / 2

P is the perimeter of a square or rectangle ant that gives you the length L of P.
