How to solve for "W" in this equation: A=2(L+W)

I know I'm supposed to do A=2L+2W, but i don't know how to go from there!

Verified Answer :

\(A=2(L+W)\\\\A=2 L+2W\\ \\2W=A-2L\ \ /:2 \\\\W=\frac{A}{2} -\frac{2L}{2}\\\\W=\frac{1}{2}A -L\)

For this case we have the following expression:

\(A = 2 (L + W)
\)

From here, we want to clear the value of W.

For this, we follow the following steps:

1) Pass the number 2 dividing:

\((L + W) = \frac{A}{2}
\)

2) Pass the variable L subtracting:


\(W = \frac{A}{2} - L
\)

Thus, we observe that we have the equation solved for the variable W.

Answer:

Solving the equation for W we have:

\(W = \frac{A}{2} - L\)
