I don't quiet know where to start can anyone help guide me?
Bonnie has a container in the shape of rectangular pyramid. The formula for the surface area of the enclosed space is S=lw+0.5Ph. Solve for P?
P= S - lw- 0.5h
P= S + lw + 0.5h
P= S-lw/ 0.5h
P= S/lw + 0.5h
S=lw+0.5Ph
isolate the term containing P
S - lw = .5Ph
divide by the factors muliplied by P , that is , the .5h
(S - lw)/(.5h) = P
The choice coming close is
P= S-lw/ 0.5h , if it had been typed correctly, should be
P= (S-lw)/(0.5h)

To solve for P in the formula S = lw + 0.5Ph, we need to isolate P on one side of the equation.
1. Start with the equation S = lw + 0.5Ph.
2. Subtract lw from both sides of the equation to isolate the term 0.5Ph:
S - lw = 0.5Ph.
3. Now, we want to get rid of the 0.5 coefficient in front of Ph. To do this, divide both sides of the equation by 0.5:
(S - lw) / 0.5 = Ph.
4. This simplifies to:
2(S - lw) = Ph.
5. Finally, divide both sides of the equation by h to solve for P:
P = 2(S - lw) / h.
Therefore, the correct equation to solve for P is:
P = 2(S - lw) / h.
To solve for P, you need to isolate P on one side of the equation.
The given formula for the surface area of the enclosed space is S = lw + 0.5Ph.
First, let's move lw to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides:
S - lw = 0.5Ph
Next, let's isolate P by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.5h:
(S - lw) / (0.5h) = P
So, the correct equation to solve for P is P = (S - lw) / (0.5h).
