Question

How do you solve for L in `S=2wL+2Lh+2wh`?

Answer 1

`L = (S -2wh)/(2w+2h)`

Explanation:

To solve for `L` in the equation `S=2wL+2Lh+2wh`
begin by isolating the two terms with the variable `L`

`S -2wh = 2wL+2Lh`
next factor out the `L`

`S -2wh = L(2w+2h)`
now isolate the L

`(S -2wh)/(2w+2h) = L`
