Hello there. To solve this question, we have to remember some properties about solving equations for a variable.

Given the following equation:


A=lw+wh+lh

We want to solve it for w.

First, notice we can group some factors


A=w\cdot(l+h)+lh

Subtract lh on both sides of the equation


A-lh=w\cdot(l+h)

Assuming l + h is not equal to zero, divide both sides of the equation by this factor


w=(A-lh)/(l+h)

This is the answer to this question.
