Answer:

b.

Explanation:

The answer is b. Here are the steps:

Subtract 2L from both sides to get

P - 2L = 2W

Now divide both sides by 2 to get


(P)/(2)-(2L)/(2)=W

P/2 is the same thing as
(1)/(2)P

and the 2's in the next term cancel out:


(2L)/(2)=L

Putting all that together gives you a solution of


W=(1)/(2)P-L
