ANSWER


l=(A)/(w)

Step-by-step explanation

We want to solve for the length, l, in the formula for the area of a rectangle:


A=lw

We simply want to make the length the subject of the formula. To do this, divide both sides of the formula by w:


\begin{gathered} (A)/(w)=(lw)/(w) \\ \Rightarrow l=(A)/(w) \end{gathered}

That is the answer.
