Makayla is taking a math course and is working with the perimeter of rectangles. she knows the perimeter and length of her rectangle but wants to solve for the width. rearrange the following equation for w, where p is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width of the rectangle.
p = 2l + 2w
w = 2p − 2l
w = p/ 2-2 times l
w equals the quantity p minus 2 times l all over 2
w = 2p + 2l

Third option:

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing that the equation used to calculate that perimeter of the rectangle is:

Where "P" is the perimeter, "L" is the leght and "W" is the width, Makayla can follow these steps in order to solve for "W":

- Subtract from both sides of the equation:

- Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

it is definatly the 3rd one. very much looks like it, for a good chance, the third one would be best for you.

8(4)^8=72^feet to say that the total can conclude to 8(4) which as you know would mean 8 x 4. that equals 32w. 32^ could make a 72 answer as well. but your coefficent will remain w so your answer is 72w.
