Solve the literal equation for the indicated variable. Show your work.

P=2(l+w) for l.

p = 2 (i + w) = 2 i +2 w

2 i = p - 2 w
i = (p-2w) / 2
or
i = p/2 - w
That is as quick as I can.

Thanks so much anonymous

thanks y'all are the best

Pls someone help as quick as you can. I can't fail or ill be grounded.

To solve the literal equation P = 2(l + w) for l, we want to isolate the variable l on one side of the equation.

Step 1: Distribute the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
P = 2l + 2w

Step 2: Move the 2w term to the other side of the equation by subtracting 2w from both sides:
P - 2w = 2l

Step 3: To solve for l, divide both sides of the equation by 2:
(P - 2w) / 2 = l

The final answer is l = (P - 2w) / 2. You have now solved the literal equation for l.
